Great Fun on a Great Lake
Visitors have marveled at the changes that this once industrial port has taken on over recent years. With the largest marina on Lake Michigan, Racine will give you countless reasons to throw your anchor and come ashore!
The Belle of Lake Michigan, located 25 minutes south of Milwaukee and one hour north of Chicago, was the home to many industrial tycoons at the turn of the century. These mansions and the downtown have been restored and revitalized into a bustling town. Unique shops, exquisite dining, and exciting attractions are now part of the fabric that is downtown Racine. What a perfect setting on a scenic lakefront.
