Fall has arrived and so have the fall activities. 

Halloween preparations are well underway. Colors are beginning to change both on the trees and in stores as they prepare for the upcoming holiday seasons. A favorite fall past time for many is hiking the lake shore path around Geneva Lake. The air is crisp, temperatures are comfortable, and the colors are stunning. The path offers an up-close view of the splendorous estates surrounding the lake, the amazing fall colors of nature and the crystal-clear waters of the lake. The shoreline is approximately 21 miles, but the path is approximately 26 miles as it weaves and winds its way around the lake in and out of wooded areas through all different types of terrain. Make sure to wear walking shoes and bring water to keep comfortable during the hike.

For those with a more adventurous side, grab a flashlight and walking shoes for a tour of Oak Hill Cemetery, which is the resting place of many of Lake Geneva’s former residents. Oak Hill Cemetery has recently been added to the National Registry of Historic Places. Once there hear stores of Lake Geneva’s prominent residents and founding fathers along with the city’s past and history. The walk is $15 per person, and is offered October 8th, and 15th, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchase online at https://wihist.org/3OyiCnP.

After the Oak Hill Cemetery, you can continue to the Lake Geneva Ghost Walk Tour where everyone can enjoy a 90-minute walking tour to hear the lore and history of Lake Geneva. A guide will help uncover some deep dark secretes of this resort town, its previous prestigious residents, and the legends of Geneva Lake. Tickets start at $25 per person and tours are offered Fridays-Sundays. Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.americanghostwalks.com/tour/lake-geneva-ghost-walks.

After the ghost walk you can head over to East Troy for an even bigger scare at the Walk of Terror open every Friday and Saturday night. They are located at 3072 Graydon Avenue. All guests must sign a waiver before entering the vault and enjoying one of a kind live entertainment experience.
