I've been to this beautiful Wisconsin town more times than I can count but it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered one of the town's coolest features.

One of the Most Beautiful Towns in America is Full of Secrets

The above statement is true of many things, actually. The beauty of mystery has been written about for hundreds of years. It's the beauty you cannot see that generates the most excitement, for me. Discovery.

The writers at Condé Nast Traveler recently published a list of 26 towns across the United States that dazzle all of your senses.

To describe these 26 towns, including one in Wisconsin, Condé Nast used phrases like,

"over-the-top American charm"

and

"proximity to some of the loveliest landscapes on earth"

and

"year-round resort-like atmosphere and attractions"

and

"plethora of water activities perfect for spring and summer"

What are some beautiful towns you've seen? When checking to see if I'd visited any of the towns on the list, I only discovered that I really need to travel more. Sedona, Arizona is on the list of beautiful towns.

My mood completely changed when I got near the bottom of the list and discovered a town I absolutely love, and it's a town that holds a stunning secret that not many people know about.

Until now.

It's that lake that leads me to this 'secret', and as I mentioned earlier, it may not be a secret to you. I had visited Lake Geneva a few times before I learned of what wraps around a good portion of Geneva Lake.
