Union Center, WI

Set among the rolling sandstone bluffs of southern Juneau County, Union Center is a quiet Driftless Area village with nature right in its backyard. The Baraboo River winds along the edge of town, and the 400 State Trail runs directly through it, giving locals easy access to miles of biking, walking, and snowmobiling. It is a great spot if you enjoy spending weekends kayaking down the river, cycling toward Reedsburg or Elroy, or spotting bald eagles along the bluffs.
