State Trunk Highway 139 (often calledHighway 139,STH-139 orWIS 139) is astate highway in the US state ofWisconsin. It runs north–south in north central Wisconsin from a junction withUS Highway 8 (US 8) nearCavour in centralForest County to theMichigan state line and its connection withM-189 at theBrule River to approximately four miles north ofTipler inFlorence County. Along its route, WIS 139 serves as the main access route toLong Lake and serves parts of the Nicolet side of theChequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
