Lake Geneva, Wisconsin Offers Family Fun and Adventure

LAKE GENEVA, WI, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Summer may seem like it’s flying by, but there’s still time to schedule some late summer getaways before school starts this fall. There are plenty of weekends left, including the long Labor Day weekend, so start making your plans with these ideas for creating another memorable getaway.

Go jump in a Lake
Less than a tank of gas away from Chicago and Milwaukee, the Lake Geneva area makes it very easy to jump in a lake. Geneva Lake has four beaches with bathhouses providing ample opportunities to squeeze in more swimming and sunbathing. Or consider a stay at Lake Lawn Resort located on 250 wooded acres alongside two miles of Delavan Lake shoreline.

Try a sky-high experience
Get adventurous and try out the sky high experiences offered in the Lake Geneva area. Will it be ziplining with Ariel Adventures or Canopy Tours? Or, perhaps the family would rather climb aboard a hot air balloon and experience breathtaking vistas as you glide over the treetops with Lake Geneva Balloon Company.

Giddy-up to the horses
Dan Patch Stables at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa offers pony rides for little cowboys and cowgirls or horseback riding through acres of the beautiful Grand Geneva property for those seven years and older. Or consider watching a Vegas-style show of Arabians, Andalusians, Lippazans, National Show Horses and talented trainers/performers at the Dancing Horses Theatre.

Catch some fish
One does not need to own a boat and tackle to catch fish in the Lake Geneva area. With Lake Geneva Fishing Guide Service, the entire family can enjoy the adventures of fishing out of pontoon boats equipped with everything for a successful day on the water. For trout fishing, visit Rushing Waters Trout Farm, a beautiful 80-acre farm with crystal clear ponds and raceways full of rainbow trout.
Get tactical
Those eight years and up get tactical with CMP Tactical Lazer Tag. CMP’s outdoor laser tag field features multiple buildings strewn across an open landscape, high tech simulated weapons and objective-based gameplay.

And don’t forget the Walworth County Fair, which runs through Labor Day weekend, Wednesday, August 27 to Monday, September 1. One of the oldest fairs in the state of Wisconsin, families will find an abundance of fun with the line-up of entertainment, food, and special events.

About Lake Geneva
Nestled on the northeastern shores of Geneva Lake in southeast Wisconsin, Lake Geneva has been a resort community since just after the Civil War when wealthy Chicago families discovered the site and began building summer homes there. Today, the elegant, often historic estates still ring the lake and can be viewed from the water or by foot via the 21-mile walking path that circles the lake.

Lake Geneva boasts a wealth of dining options and lodging choices with the latter ranging from luxury spa resorts to rustic inns to lovely B&B’s. The area also offers pristine nature areas and a wealth of attractions. For information on Lake Geneva, honored as one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2009 Dozen Distinctive Destinations, visit www.lakegenevawi.com or call (800) 345-1020.
