Lake Rowley Geneva is 630 acres and conveniently located on the eastern edge of Alexandria (not only is it a short trip to local schools, shopping, medical facilities, etc. but on the east side of Lake Geneva is The Geneva Golf Club and Weston Station). It is well known for its bass and crappie fishing and being part of the Chain of Lakes.

First named "Rowley", the name was changed to Geneva for Switzerland's Lake Geneva (which is also known as Lake Léman). In 1884, J. H. Letson built and operated a hotel on Lake Geneva's shores (4 years earlier he had built the Letson house where the Alexandria Hotel is now located in Alexandria). The Great Northern Railroad ran past it and a station was built and named 'Geneva Beach'. Tourists from St. Louis and other cities in southern and eastern states traveled to Lake Geneva in great numbers with their trunks and stayed all summer. Now the railroad is the Central Lakes Trail, offering 55 miles of a smooth, tarred trail for biking, walking, running, rollerblading, skateboarding and more.

To date, the highest sale in the MLS for a home with lake frontage on Geneva is $625,000 (closed in 2008). The highest sale price for a bare lot with 100 feet of frontage on Lake Geneva is $325,000 (closed in 2005).

Public access is on the southwest corner and northeast corner of the lake. There is a fishing pier available to the public at the southwest access.
