The stunning Lake Zurich is perfect for a stroll year-round, thanks to its tranquil atmosphere.

Backing lower Lake Zurich is a tangle of parks and gardens, collectively known as the lake promenade, that makes for a picturesque place to spend a couple of hours, especially during the sunny summer days. In warm weather, the lake is peppered with boats, while the banks are filled with picnickers and sunbathers. For grill lovers, there are electric public grills available. If you’re a jogger, the area is also one of Zurchers’ favorite places to pound the ground.
