The Miracle Trail
The Miracle Trail in Lake Geneva Wi, spans about 23 miles. The Lake Shore Path cuts through the grounds of some of the biggest mansions in Wisconsin. An 1830s treaty signed with the Potawatomi tribe protects public access to the shore path in perpetuity, according to the Geneva Lake Museum.
The footpath rarely strays more than 20 feet from this spring-fed aquatic lake, where vacationing Chicagoans flock to get away from the city.

Lake Geneva in Vintage Postcards (WI) (Postcard History Series)
Lake Geneva was originally called Kishwauketoe by the Oneota tribe, a name meaning clear or sparkling water. Carved out by a glacier, this same crystal water has attracted residents and tourists for centuries, and continues to be a retreat for many in every season. Through a collection of vivid vintage postcards, authors Carolyn Hope Smeltzer and Martha Kiefer Cucco provide an overview of Lake Geneva's rich history, rendered in views of mansions, cottages, and camps, and in images of recreation, the surrounding towns, and, of course, Lake Geneva itself.

Camps of Geneva Lake (Images of America)
The Geneva Lake camps provided education, activities, spirituality, and community in a healthy environment away from the city. The first sites were located on the western shores of Geneva Lake, with Camp Collie established in 1874; seventeen more followed. Although most camps were spiritually based, they differed in what they offered and who they served. People attending the camps came from all income levels and many cultures.
