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 and miles of rolling land, most of it covered by thick 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 Ouachita River.

Population focal points: Farmerville (parish seat), Marion, Bernice, Spearsville, Junction City, and Downsville.
