From East to West
The village of Fontana is located on the western edge of the
lake. With a year-round population of about 1,700, it exhudes
the peace and serenity of small town life, and is home to many
quaint shops that highlight local craft.
Resting on the east side of the lake is the city of Lake
Geneva. Offering a picturesque downtown district and numerous
specialty shops, the city boasts a unique combination of rural
charm, historic significance and urban services.
