The shore line of Geneva Lake is approximately 21 miles, but the path reaches up to almost 26 miles as it weaves in and out of wooded areas along the shoreline. Walk a small section in Williams Bay - and enjoy the water and beautiful sunsets. The Shore Path around Geneva Lake offers you an up close view of historic estates and stunning homes with beautifully landscaped yards and gardens. As you enjoy a walk along the lake's shore, you'll be mesmerized by the clear blue waters of the lake and the tranquility of sailboats, excursion boats and even antique vessels as they glide across the pristine waters. Sunsets over Geneva Lake are as special as they come, and watching one from anywhere along the Shore Path is an experience you won't soon forget. There is so much beauty around Geneva Lake that you'll want to explore it over and over again, taking in new sights from different segments of the path.

Geneva Lake is a naturally created lake (formed by ancient glaciers) as opposed to a man-made structure formed by damming a stream or river. Therefore, it is very clear and affords great opportunities to view the beauty of the lake bottom in many places. Fish species are diverse because of warmer and cooler waters of the shallows and deeper (up to 130 feet) depths, respectively. Just over 5000 acres in size, the clear waters of this lake provide many recreational opportunities from boating, swimming, fishing and sightseeing. The historic and magnificent summer-homes are must-see features of a variety of boat tours. Resorts and moderately- to upper-level priced and maritime-flavored amenities surrounding Geneva Lake have given rise to this area being referred to as the Hamptons of the Midwest.
