Two Town of Geneva boat launches, listed by the Wisconsin DNR: the Lake Como ramp (one lane, about 25 trailer spaces) and the Schofield Road launch off South Shore Drive (one lane, about 10 trailer spaces). Launch fees depend on residency; the DNR's last listed rates were $5 a day or $50 a year for residents and $7 or $70 for non-residents. Check current fees with the Town.
