Woodhaven Lakes' setting offers a little bit of everything -from dense woods with a vast variety of tree species, to wetlands, lakes and open prairies with native grasses and flowers. Our seven lakes are home to several species of game fish, frogs and turtles.

Wildlife is abundant at Woodhaven. Squirrels, beavers, raccoon, muskrat, and deer are very commonplace. Birdwatching is an enjoyable pasttime for many Woodhaven nature-lovers.

The trails are an excellent way to take in the natural sights and sounds of Woodhaven. There are 15 miles of trails that traverse through stands of pines, along lakes and creeks, and through wetlands and prairies. Trails can be used for biking, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
