 The highway continues parallel to the state line from the <unk> area through the national forest toward <unk> . That unincorporated community is the home of the <unk> High School <unk> , the basketball team featured on a series of ESPN commercials and a documentary series on the Sundance Channel . The area is also where the waters meet ; the rolling hills drain to Lake Superior via the <unk> River , to Lake Michigan via the <unk> and <unk> rivers , or to the Gulf of Mexico via the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers . Also located in the area are the <unk> Wilderness , and the Lac <unk> Desert Indian <unk> , which includes the Lac <unk> Desert Casino and Resort . The highway travels southeasterly from <unk> around the many lakes and streams in the area and crosses into rural Iron County . US 2 intersects Federal Forest Highway 16 ( <unk> 16 ) near Golden Lake in <unk> Township in the middle of the national forest . The trunkline then runs along the Iron River as it approaches the city of the same name and meets M ‑ 73 . In town , US 2 intersects M ‑ 189 before crossing the river and turning northeast out of the city .
