When you land

Things to do in Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva has been a summer retreat for wealthy Chicago families since the late 19th century, when the Wrigleys, Schwinns and other industrialists built grand estates along the shore of Geneva Lake. Many of those homes still stand, and the lake remains a place of second homes, wooden boats, yacht clubs and resorts. The town of Lake Geneva has a walkable downtown of shops and restaurants along the water, and the nearby villages of Williams Bay and Fontana ring the rest of the lake.
