Lake Geneva: Protecting Our Lake for Future Generations
Have you ever driven around Geneva Lake and noticed the Geneva Lake Watershed signs posted throughout the area? Have you ever wondered what the signage was meant to communicate? 
The Geneva Lake Watershed is a three-phase program initiated by the Geneva Lake Conservancy. Each phase of the Conservancy’s watershed program focuses upon increased awareness of and sensitivity to the responsibilities lake communities such as Lake Geneva, Williams Bay, Linn, Geneva, and Fontana, owe to the large natural resource known as Geneva Lake. The installation of Watershed Entry/Exit signs at major crossings into and out of the watershed creates an on-going reminder of the critical and highly delicate balance between community and environment. The watershed signs point out that, “All waters flow to the lake.” For residents and visitors, awareness is key and being pro-active essential to the well-being of our local economy, our community, and our natural resources. The next time you see a Watershed sign, remember the beautiful swan that preened at the shoreline as the ice melted last week – and keep Geneva Lake healthy for future generations.
