The Enchanted Highway begins at Exit 72 on I-94 near Gladstone and terminates 32 miles down the road in the small town of Regent. Beginning with “Geese in Flight” at Exit 72, large metal sculptures are placed along the county highway, each with a parking area and kiosk, except “Geese in Flight,” which is viewable from the adjacent interstate. Sculptures include “World’s Largest Tin Family,” “Teddy Rides Again,” “Pheasants on the Prairie,” “Grasshoppers in the Field,” “Deer Crossing,” and “Fisherman’s Dream.” The gift shop in Regent has miniatures of each statue and the Enchanted Castle motel and restaurant offer hot meals and a soft bed. .

The First sculpture, “Geese in Flight,” is right on Interstate 94 at Exit 72. If you are headed south, this would be the beginning of the Enchanted Highway. Other sculptures include “Geese in Flight,” “Deer Crossing,” “Grasshoppers in the Field,” “Fisherman’s Dream,” “Pheasants on the Prairie,” “Theodore Roosevelt Rides Again,” and “World’s Largest Tin Family.”
