About Big Foot Beach State Park
Big Foot Beach State Park covers 272 acres on Geneva Lake and was set aside in 1949. It is named for Big Foot, a Potawatomi leader in the area until his band was forced out in 1836, and Big Foot Lake was the lake's original English name. Visitors come for the swimming beach, 5 miles of hiking trails and a family campground, and in winter for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. A daily vehicle sticker costs $13 for Wisconsin plates and $16 for out-of-state plates.
