Powers Lake...The Secret We're Still Keeping
While many visitors think of Geneva Lake as their destination lake in Southeastern Wisconsin, there are numerous lakes throughout Walworth, Kenosha, Racine and Jefferson Counties that are some of the best kept secrets. One of my personal favorites is pristine Powers Lake in Randall Township. Just minutes from the Illinois/Wisconsin border and easily accessible from both I94 via Hwy 50 and Route 12 through Richmond, Illinois, Powers Lake is a quintessential country lake. Almost exactly 5 miles around (I know, I used to run it every day!), covering 454 acres and with a maximum depth of 34 feet, this lake is favored by generations of Chicagoans who have been coming here since the late 1800’s. With an average price of $644,000, Powers Lake is an affordable alternative to Geneva Lake. My husband and I purchased our first home in Powers Lake and we loved living there. It was the kind of neighborhood where neighbors watched out for one another, visited at Halloween, shared the abundant summer crop of tomatoes and zucchini, and bought each other’s treasures at the annual garage sales. My son still loves to visit his former babysitters (a lovely couple who has lived there for over 40 years) and the lakefront beach is still one of my favorites. Small, clean, friendly, and less than 1.5 hours from Chicago, Powers Lake is a “must discover”.
