Geneva Lake (Potawatomi: Kishwauketoe 'Clear Water')[2] is a body of freshwater in Walworth County in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Wisconsin.[3] On its shores are the city of Lake Geneva and the villages of Fontana-on-Geneva-Lake and Williams Bay. The lake covers an area of approximately 5,401 acres (2,186 ha; 8.439 sq mi; 21.86 km2),[3] with a maximum length of 7.7 miles (12.4 km),[3] a mean depth of 61 feet (19 m),[3] and a maximum depth of 135 feet (41 m).[3] Geologists believe that it is a filled-in kettle formed from a receding glacier.[citation needed]
