Lake Geneva
Geneva Lake is a body of freshwater in southeastern Wisconsin. The lake covers an area of approximately 8 square miles, and has a maximum length of 7.5 miles, mean depth of 62.7 feet and a maximum depth of 144 feet. Lake Geneva is drained by the White River, which then flows into the Fox River.
The lake and town were originally named after the town of Geneva in New York, located on Seneca Lake. Geneva, to avoid confusion with the nearby town Geneva, Illinois, was renamed Lake Geneva; later the lake was renamed Geneva Lake. Both forms are used for the lake, but never for the city.
