Juneau County, Administrative county in central Wisconsin, United States.
Juneau County is an administrative county in central Wisconsin featuring forests, lakes, and rivers spread across a large landscape. Water shapes the terrain and supports diverse ecosystems throughout the region.
The county was established in 1856 when the Wisconsin Legislature separated lands west of the Wisconsin River from Adams County. It was named after Solomon Juneau, founder of Milwaukee.
Native American heritage remains visible through archaeological sites like the thunderbird etchings at Twin Bluffs and ancient burial mounds. These places tell stories of people who lived here long before European settlement.

The area has two small airports that serve local and regional air transportation. These facilities play an important role in the region's transport network.
