Let's make the most of our road trip to Wisconsin by stopping on our way home to hike the Southern Lakeshore Lakefront Path skirting beautiful Lake Geneva!

This path is a beautiful point to point hike near Fontana on Geneva Lake in Geneva, Wisconsin. The path is 100% beautiful any time of year and offers amazing scenery as it wraps around the big lake for over 20 miles. The shoreline is 21 miles long, however the actual walking/hiking path is 26 miles as it does move in and out of the forest from time to time.

There are many, many summer lake cottages along the path (similar to those cottages we've seen on Mackinac Island... more like little mansions than cottages). Many of the cottages are historical homes built by wealthy Chicagoans after the great Chicago fire.

Since this is a point to point trail, we will need to stage some cars at the far end and shuttle our gal pals back to their cars at the start of the trail after we complete the moderately challenging hike which will take an average of 3 hours to complete.

This event is planned to be an addition to the Mirror Lake Camping Trip and Lake Geneva is only about 1 3/4 hours drive from Mirror Lake, but it is pretty much right on our way home so... it could be done by adding only one day to our Wisconsin Getaway. From Lake Geneva to the South bend area is just over a 3 hour drive home.

It is possible that we could hike 4-5 miles and reverse to return to our cars if group consensus dictates. Shorter hikes could be achieved for those on a time crunch using this same out and back strategy.

Would you prefer the point to point 10.2 mile hike, or and out 4-5 miles and back to the cars?
