Waunakee
Recognized as one Wisconsin’s safest cities for the last 3 years, Waunakee’s parks, high quality schools and tight-knit community spirit make it an ideal choice for families.
The only Waunakee like it.
The Village of Waunakee is located on the northern shores of Lake Mendota, offering a tight-knit, family-oriented community. Founded over 100 years ago, Waunakee continues to grow and evolve its innovative spirit to this day. The village offers a variety of attractions, from soccer games and antiquing to spacious community outdoor spaces, including the nearby Governor Nelson State Park. One of the community’s more popular traditions happens every Fourth of July when Waunakee hosts WaunaBoom, an all-day family celebration.
