Surrounding it are miles and miles of rolling land, most of it covered by thick pine forests and green pastures. Beautiful summer weather is drawing scores of 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 Ouachita River. A number of communities are population focal points: Farmerville (the parish seat), Marion, Bernice, Spearsville, Junction City, Downsville, Lillie, Linville, and Rocky Branch. Union Parish’s past is one of rough-hewn rural life focused on harvesting timber, cotton, corn and beans.
