One of the best views of Lake Geneva is from the shoreline along George Williams College.  GWC hosts a concert series on weekends all summer.  It's a great place to see a show and enjoy the lake.  Historically, George Williams College is well know because the founder, Sir George Williams, also founded the YMCA. #lovemytown #lakegeneva #wisconsin #lakelife

Just a disclaimer that we were on a getaway with our dogs, so we didn’t go into Williams Bay, and only drove through a very busy downtown Lake Geneva on our way to and from the dog beach.
