It is about six miles long and 2 1/2 miles at the widest point, in the shape of a boot. The above view is from the hills behind Fontana at the western end of the lake. The lake in the background is Lake Como.
At the other end of the lake, or just beyond it, is the Grand Geneva resort, originally known as the Playboy Club resort.
The lake is surrounded by a public path open to all. Sometimes it is well marked as it travels the lalwns of the mansions.
Siometimes the path is through wooded areas.
It's a rather fanciful building, with a ballroom on the upper floor and various carmel-corn and cotton candy vendors on the main floor, in addition to various arcade attractions.
Here is the beach in Fontana.
A typical view.
There are often many sailboats racing on the lake.
The excursion boarts are also familiar sights.
Fancy boats are often seen, like this Portofino reproduction.
The grounds of the Lake Geneva Country Club.
It doesn't take a country club to have a lovely lakeside lawn.
From a hilly point.
The huge bulb of Yerkes Observatory is a landmark.
There are three domes, two small and the big one with the 40-inch refractory telescope.
An old postcard view of lovely Lake Geneva.
