Pictures from around Williams Bay in Spring and Summer



Williams Bay Beach an easy 10 minute walk down hill.
Yerkes Observatory is the largest refractory telescope in the world. Built in 1892, it is amazing to see. Tours are free, but only on Saturday at 10:00AM, 11:00AM and noon. It is across the street.

The Williams Bay Municipal Pier
This is a typical view from the lake path. You can walk around the lake (22.8 miles) at the shoreline in front of some of the most spectacular property and scenery anywhere.
Kishwaukeetoe is a nature preserve across from the Williams Bay Beach, five minutes away. I love to walk on its trails which are well marked. The picture shows the raised boardwalk that extends over the marsh portion of the preserve.

This is one view of a fairway at George Williams Golf Course. It is located directly across the street. They have a weekday deal at $22 per person including electric cart. I'd be happy to pay that much just to drive the cart.
This is another view of George Williams Golf Course with the sign blowing in the breeze. If you get tired of playing at George Williams and are willing to venture out, say, fifteen minutes away, you can play one of the Geneva National courses, the Gary Player, the Arnold Palmer and the Lee Trevino. I am not a golfer, but the Hunt Club restaurant on the Geneva National property is great and offers half price appetizers in the bar seven days a week.

This is me in the spring with our friendly neighborhood wood spirit. I pat it on the nose for good luck every time I pass it. Does it work? It couldn't hurt.
