The Lake Geneva area’s rich history created today’s year-round vacation destination. Geneva Lake, Lake Como, Lake Delevan and other lakes comprising the Geneva Lakes originated from the two great Michigan glaciers 30,000 and 14,000 years ago. Now the lake basins and surrounding moraine of rolling gravel hills provide a magnificent setting for vacation or business travel.

The Geneva Lakes area continues to attract visitors seeking relaxation, recreation and outstanding accommodations. With communities that offer quaint downtown districts and numerous specialty shops, the area boasts a unique blend of rural charm, historic significance and urban services. All of these attractions are the reason the Geneva Lakes area has been the playground for visitors from Chicagoland and Northern Illinois for the past 150 years. The Geneva Lakes area is appropriately called the Newport of the west.
