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.
With a stunning lakefront and marina, Racine boasts great fishing opportunities. The Racine water is teemed with trout and salmon. In fact, you can test your skills in the world’s largest freshwater fishing contest at Salmon-a-Rama! Throw your line or let the waves rock you to sleep, Racine can offer you a great lake experience.
Of course, you don’t need a boat to have fun in Racine. Drive in on Interstate 94 and exit on Hwy 11 and 20. You will quickly notice the friendliness and cleanliness of Racine County.
