Review & FAQ:
A popular lake resort for over 150 years, Lake Geneva is located in southeastern Wisconsin, not far from Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The lake formed thousands of years ago in the depression left by the retreating glacier. The largest community on the lakeshore is Lake Geneva, a popular and lively town with a range of activities in downtown Library Park, Big Foot State Park, and all around the lake’s 21-mile-long shoreline. There are several golf courses, swimming beaches, rental facilities for canoes and kayaks, and water and jet skiing. The Pottawatomie Trail offers a pleasant and scenic hike around the lake. The lakeshore itself is densely populated and there are many lovely old homes in addition to several opulent mansions that have survived the centuries. Several lake cruises are available and provide an easy and pleasant way to relax on the lake.
