General presentation
Lake Geneva
Large resort lake lined with historic homes and a continuous trail by the water.
To understand what Lake Geneva is, you need to look at Geneva Lake, Black Point Estate and Yerkes Observatory. These places give a view of a territory marked by the shores and lakes, the heritage and the countryside and allow to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: important distances between certain places. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Geneva Lake
Geneva Lake, called in Potawatomi "Clear Water", is a soft and clear stretch of southeast Wisconsin. The shores offer a pleasant ambivalence between water sports, walks, and views of a residential coast structured by the lake.
Place indismissible
Black Point Estate
Black Point Estate preserves a 19th century summer home accessible by boat, whose verandas and interior evoke an aristocratic way of life on the waterfront. The journey to the house is already an introduction, before discovering the gardens and architecture.
Place indismissible
Yerkes Observatory
Yerkes Observatory presents a large astronomical bezel in a refined architectural setting, marking the scientific ambition of the early days of American astrophysics. Gardens and instruments invite both technical admiration and understanding of an era of discovery.
