Columbia County, Wisconsin

Wisconsin Dells might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Columbia County. But there’s more to it than water parks. The county sits just north of Madison, making it a popular spot for commuters.
This county is where rural and suburban lifestyles blend. The Wisconsin River cuts through, creating some stunning scenery. Portage is the county seat and has a rich history tied to the fur trade.
Outdoor recreation is huge here. Not just waterslides. The fall colors are something else. People drive for miles just to see the leaves change. It’s a friendly place. The kind where people wave to strangers on the street.
