As summer approaches there is so much to look forward to. But there are also a few laments as well. Here is a list of four Downtown Lake Geneva restaurant and shops that quietly shut down over the last year that we will miss.

Drink Wisconsinbly

Drink Wisconsinbly

The Drink Wisconsinbly retail store in downtown Lake Geneva at 223 Cook Street offered a selection of T-shirts that features the company’s logo. It opened November 2020 but has since closed its doors in August 2021 in Lake Geneva. However they have a location in Egg Harbor in Door County.

Wicked Poke Hut

Wicked Poke Hut

The Wicked Poke Hut, 120 Broad St. in Lake Geneva, opened in March 2021 and was very popular for its first few months with its selection of Hawaiian poke bowls that included fresh seafood. But it shut its doors in December. A taco hut is expected to open there.

This fun statue of a bear relaxing can be seen along the shore path between Fontana and Black Point, as you walk along the south shore. 

Fall colors

Fall colors

Taking a walk along the shore path in the fall was the perfect way to end the 21-mile journey around the lake. In many parts the fall colors were at peak and amazing to see. 

Summer fun

Tiny chairs next to a sandpit are some of the fun features along the shore path that you'll see in the summer.

Site of Oak Lodge

This home was built in 2009 at the site of the former Morton Salt Family estate known as Oak Lodge. It’s one of the beautiful mansions along the southern shore path between Downtown Lake Geneva and Stone Manor.

Entering the path

Entering the lake shore path from Lake Geneva, headed toward Big Foot Beach, is a sight to behold. This entrance to the path at Campbell Street is beautiful all year long, but especially in the summer.

Santa along the shore path

Santa can be seen occasionally along the lake path, collecting his naughty and nice list from the Lake Geneva mail boat.
