At the center of Union Parish is spectacular Lake D’Arbonne where fishermen reel in catfish, bass, crappie and bream by the bucketful. Surrounding it are miles of rolling land, a landscape of pine forests and green pastures. Year-round pleasant weather draws nature-lovers to the lake and the Five Scenic Waterways: Bayou d'Loutre, Corney Creek Bayou, Little Fork D'Arbonne, Bayou D'Arbonne, and the Upper Ouachita River.
Communities: Farmerville (parish seat), Marion, Bernice, Spearsville, Junction City, and Downsville.
