Geneva, on the shores of Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes, is rich in historic tradition and scenic beauty. The legacy of this history in harmony with the natural environment can be enjoyed in this small city that has preserved its traditions and made them part of its revitalized future. Come see what makes Geneva one of the best small cities in the United States.

 

Geneva, known as the "Lake Trout Capital of the World," is a haven for fishing and boating enthusiasts. Deep, clear water channels, rock ledges, and shallow weed beds help fishermen hook lake, brown, or rainbow trout, large and small-mouthed bass, and many other types of fish.

 

The beautiful blue waters accommodate boaters of all kinds. Visitors can almost always count on sails bobbing serenely across the horizon.

 

Preserving cultural traditions and heritage and respecting the natural environment have been guiding principles in the city's development. Many buildings, including those pictured below, are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
