We recently spent a relaxing afternoon sitting by Lake Geneva - walking out to the light house ( small fee ) - and sitting by the calm water eating our sandwiches was most enjoyable especially with children.

Boating on a weekday during the Summer is great! No crowds; you can move around easily, or just park and drift.

Geneva Lake is close to the NW Suburban area of Chicago where I live, pretty clean, and has lots of wonderful old mansions to gawk at. Lots of parking in town - $1 and hour, plus some free lots.

If you are up this way, summer is great place on the Lake. There is a pricey lake cruise with dinner with family pricing. We walked the area, great places to bike ride, nice fun shops, places to eat. Parking meters can be renewed so get there early. We went when it was chilly and not many tourists as of... More

My wife and I stopped in Lake Geneva and walked around for a few hours before having dinner at Tuscan Tavern & Grill. It is a clean town with lots of shops, restaurants, ice cream places etc. Lake Geneva is definitely a tourist town and is very busy and noisy. Lake Geneva (the lake) is a big lake with lots... More

I visited here for work and really fell in love with the place. Take a stroll along the beach downtown and enjoy a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. The water is crystal clear and very inviting. If you are in the area, this is worth a visit!

This lake is a favorite of ours for 35 years. You can take boat tours, rent boats, fish, swim at a beach, jet ski, rent a bike, walk around paths through old homes, or just sit and take in the lake. There are fine dining and casual restaurants. There are local shops and great activities. We live in Chicago and... More
