Boats on Geneva Lake

From the Janesville Gazette

Numbers are the same, but boats have changed on Geneva Lake

Since 1998, the number of boats using Geneva Lake has remained roughly the same year-to-year. It's the types of boats that have continued to change.

...All told, Geneva Lake has one boat for every 22.2 feet of shoreline. That average has changed little over the past 10 years, he said.

By far, the highest concentration of boats remains in Fontana. Part of that is due to the Abbey Harbor, but also because of village policy.

"Fontana has had an attitude that residents should be able to have a boat on the lake if they want to," he said.
