Geneva Lake Facts

Geneva Lake Facts

Area:

5500 square acres (8.6 square miles)

Length:

9 miles

Greatest width:

3 miles

Narrowest width:

1/2 mile

Deepest point:

162 feet (off black point)

*Average approximate surface water temperature:

  • June 1: 65°
  • July 1: 74°
  • August 1: 82°

*Temperatures are taken at three feet below the surface at Riviera Pier in Lake Geneva and averaged over the years beginning with 1991. Surface temperatures often fluctuate by 1° to 6° depending on the location on the lake (temperatures are generally a bit cooler on the west end of the lake near Fontana).

Waves:

Since Geneva Lake  is a long lake stretching from east to west, waves are at their greatest heights and force when there is a strong wind blowing from the east or west. Geneva Lake is calm and smooth as glass on some days, while on some rare days there are waves as high as 5 feet or more. Of course the size of the waves is also influenced by "boat chop" created by boat wakes.
