Route is half lakeside paths and half in the
historic town of Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva is a turn-of-the-century summer resort
site of wealthy families, and several of their "cottages" are on the route, as
are other historic structures. The route crosses the White River in downtown
Lake Geneva. A portion of the route is on an abandoned rail bed. Author Jerome
Burke wrote "Black Point", a novel that took place in Lake Geneva. |
