Woodman, WI

Tucked into the scenic Wisconsin River Valley in Grant County, Woodman is a quiet village of around a hundred people. The town got its start in the late nineteenth century as a rail hub along the Green River, taking its name from local landowner Cyrus Woodman. Over the decades, it settled into a relaxed rural rhythm surrounded by bluffs, waterways, and quiet country roads.

Outdoor recreation is the center of life here today. Woodman borders Woodman Lake and extensive state wildlife areas, making it a popular base for anglers, hunters, and campers. Right in town, the village park features sports courts, a playground, and a natural artesian well, while a local tavern, bait shop, and cabin rentals cater to both residents and weekend visitors. It makes a comfortable retreat for anyone seeking small-town peace and easy access to the water.
