Cable is also home to the region’s only full-service grocery and hardware store, Rondeau’s Shopping Center, and the only full-service laundromat.
Cable is a LittleTown with BIG Possibility

There’s the Union Cable Airport, the Cable Natural History Museum, the Cable/Namekagon Historical Society, and the Forest Lodge Library, plus plenty of local restaurant, shops, and businesses… just to name a few.
The Outdoor Recreation… Endless
