Highland blends small-town ease with quick access to the Driftless Area’s rolling ridgelines and streams. In the heart of Iowa County, residents enjoy a friendly pace with practical conveniences, plus short drives to the county seat in Dodgeville, the artist-forward streets of Mineral Point, and the cultural draw of Spring Green. Weekends fill up fast: hike sandstone bluffs and oak savannas at Governor Dodge State Park, a regional crown jewel with beaches, waterfalls, and miles of trails, via the official park page at Governor Dodge State Park. For a one-of-a-kind outing, the immersive galleries and architecture at House on the Rock are just down the road.

Around town, you’ll find everyday essentials, local dining, and seasonal events that bring neighbors together, while nearby farmers markets and studios in Mineral Point and performances in Spring Green expand your weekend choices.
