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.
