Lake Ivanhoe pairs peaceful, lake-centered living with quick access to the amenities of nearby Lake Geneva, Elkhorn, and Williams Bay in Walworth County. Established in the 1920s as a retreat that welcomed Black vacationers, the community today retains that sense of belonging—quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and a small private lake where sunrise paddles and evening fishing are part of the routine. Grocers, cafés, and seasonal festivals in surrounding towns are minutes away, making errands and entertainment refreshingly easy.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. Residents enjoy nearby sand and swim access at Big Foot Beach State Park, with hiking and boat launches detailed by the Wisconsin DNR at Big Foot Beach State Park. Biking and snowshoeing options spread out along the White River State Trail, and the prairie, wetlands, and boardwalks at Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy invite leisurely exploration. On rainy days, the Geneva Lake Museum shares local stories and artifacts, while the Lake Geneva Public Library offers programs for all ages.
Families appreciate strong educational options, including Lake Geneva Schools for elementary and middle grades and Badger High School for a broad range of academics, arts, and athletics. Career changers and lifelong learners benefit from continuing education at Gateway Technical College in nearby Elkhorn.
