Fontana-on-Geneva Lake, Walworth County about 20 minutes from Elkhorn

Fontana-on-Geneva Lake sits at the west end of Geneva Lake, and it is the commercial and resort center of this shore. Abbey Harbor anchors the waterfront here, with marina and resort activity that makes this a different kind of shoreline from the residential coves east of here.

That mix of commercial waterfront and high-end residential estates is what defines Fontana. A project here might be a resort dock system or a private estate seawall, and both have to fit a shoreline that the public sees and uses.

Fontana-on-Geneva Lake

Commercial and Resort Waterfront

Abbey Harbor and the resort activity around it mean shoreline work in Fontana is often larger scale and scheduled around a business's season. A resort cannot lose its dock access in the middle of summer, so commercial seawall, dock and ramp work is planned around when the business can be without the waterfront. See our commercial marine construction page for how that works.

Larger scale seawall and dock work on a busy waterfront also means planning access by land or water, and planning around the traffic the waterfront draws.

Fontana-on-Geneva Lake

High-End Residential Estates

The residential shore in Fontana is high-end estate frontage on Geneva Lake. Seawalls here hold manicured lawns and structures that cannot afford fill loss or settling, so replacement is planned to protect everything behind the wall. Docks are planned around boat size and the deep water at this end of the lake.

See our seawall and dock and pier pages for how each project works.

Fontana-on-Geneva Lake Shoreline Questions

Fontana-on-Geneva Lake Marine Construction FAQ

Can you work around a resort's busy season at Abbey Harbor?

Yes. Commercial and resort waterfront work is scheduled around when the business can be without the waterfront. A resort cannot lose dock access mid-summer, so we plan the timing first. See our commercial marine construction page.

I have a high-end estate seawall on Geneva Lake, can you replace it?

We can. Estate seawalls hold manicured lawns and structures that cannot afford fill loss or settling. We plan replacement to protect everything behind the wall, around the shore path and the deep water at this end of the lake.

Do the Geneva Lake pier rules apply in Fontana?

Yes. Fontana is a Geneva Lake community, so the local pier rules on top of the state's apply here. We confirm what applies to your property with the local office and the Wisconsin DNR before planning far.

Can you handle larger scale commercial dock work in Fontana?

We can. Larger scale dock work on a busy waterfront means planning access by land or water and planning around the traffic the waterfront draws. We schedule it around the business's season.

Who handles permits for resort waterfront on Geneva Lake?

The Wisconsin DNR regulates the navigable water, the Geneva Lake communities have their own pier rules, and Walworth County runs shoreland zoning. Read our permits guide, then confirm the requirements for your property.
