A wilderness waiting to be explored
Sauk County is in Wisconsin's Central Plains, a flatlands region known for its dense hardwood forests made up of maples, aspens, and birches, and also home to some rare plants and wildlife. It also has hilly areas rising more than 1,000 feet above sea level, as well as large bodies of water like Wisconsin River and Baraboo River. The Central Plains are largely uninhabited except for scattered farms and small urban communities. Large swaths of land are designated as state parks and protected wildernesses; at least 5 of them are within Sauk County's boundaries.
