On the Geneva Lake Shore Path: Part 1
This is the first installment in a new photo series highlighting the sights and locations along the Geneva Lake Shore Path.
For this installment, we took the path east of the Hillside Road boat launch in the town of Linn.

Mythical creature
Creative decorations frequently populate the well-cared-for gardens and lawns along the Geneva Lake Shore Path, such as this mythical creature, which is actually a birdbath.
On the rocks

Can't stop the sun

Follow the signs
The Geneva Lake Shore Path follows the shoreline of the lake, which is over 20 miles of shoreline. However, due to its weaving in and out of wooded areas, the path actually totals 26 miles. It also runs through both public and private properties, prompting lakefront community officials to often remind guests not to deviate from the path.
