The route the SS Badger takes across Lake Michigan is an extension of U.S. Highway 10. This highway now runs from North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin to Michigan. At one time it ran from Detroit, Michigan all the way through the current states and then through Montana, the Idaho Panhandle to Seattle, Washington, but lost most of its length as interstates (I-90 and I-94) were built on its right-of-way.
This is roughly the same route that U.S. Highway 12 covers.
It used to be broken into two segments by Lake Michigan, but in 2015, the ferry SS Badger between Ludington, Michigan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, was officially designated as part of the highway. The ferry operates from May to October.
The eastern terminus of US-10 is in Bay City, Michigan, and the western is is in the city of West Fargo, North Dakota at the interchange with I-94.
