The Miracle Trail in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

The Miracle Trail

Here are some picture I took while walking The Miracle Trail. This is a trail the goes around Lake Geneva, in Wisconsin. You will see the lake, painted fences with inspirational quotes, little critters like chipmunks and squirrels, boats and many mansions as you walk around the lake.

The Miracle Trail in Lake Geneva Wisconsin is about 23 miles long. The Lake Shore Path cuts through the grounds of some of the biggest mansions in Wisconsin.

An 1830s treaty signed with the Potawatomi tribe protects public access to the shore path in perpetuity, according to the Geneva Lake Museum.

The whole trail is within 20 feet from this spring-fed aquatic lake.

Stone Manor is the largest estate ever built on Geneva Lake and probably the most talked about.

Abandoned House

Abandoned House Not an original title, I know. Feel free to send some better name suggestions in the comment below. Anyways, I was driving to my dad's house one day and saw this beauty somewhere close to the Wisconsin/Illinois border. I had to stop and just take a picture. There are "no trespassing" signs hung up so I didn't go onto the property, just took these from the side of the road, but I would love to know the history of this house. Who lived there? Why is it abandoned? What is the history there? How old is it? If you like this photograph, I do have some prints in my Zazzle Shop collection, "Black and White Photography."
