Welcome to
WOODHAVEN LAKES
Woodhaven Lakes is a private, gated recreational property owner resort located in the heart of North Central Illinois, just two hours west of Chicago.
Our 1,756 acres of woodlands, lakes and prairies provide a spectacular natural setting for relaxing with family and friends. Woodhaven offers seven lakes for fishing. There are 15 miles of natural trails for hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
Two pools and a beach provide a great way for families to relax and cool off during the hot summer months. Our year-round recreation staff provides structured recreation programs and services throughout the year.
Wildlife is abundant at Woodhaven and it’s very common to see deer frolicking through the prairies during all seasons.
We believe you have to experience Woodhaven to fully understand what we can offer to you and your family. Please take the time to browse through our website for more information or to look at a current list of our available properties. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a free tour of our property, please contact us!

Clarke Mosquito will be applying a mosquito pre-hatch application this afternoon via helicopter. This is a pelleted larvicide directed at the designated low lying areas of Woodhaven property to prevent hatching of the larvae into adults. This is one part of the two part approach we make to lessen the mosquito population.
Thank you spray extra
Go get em thanks bunches
What are the low lying areas? Pelleted? Can we find this stuff on our deck?
Nice! Thanks!
Thank you!
Power Outage in Sections 22, 23, and 25: Multiple Owners in these sections have experienced a power outage earlier today. ComEd was notified and is on site working on replacing a blown transformer.

Does anybody know how long that outage lasted?
Great, thanks for the update.

Gotta love the paymt options, just adds to the tax bill. I guess you get my check to process. Who are the vendors collecting this fee? All property owners, you can pay your taxes by check at Sublette bank on 52. I would imagine you can pay at bank on property as well. I will be trying this, this year. Question where your fees are going.

Yearly reminder!It is that time of year when CPOs receive numerous calls for "orphaned" wildlife, specifically deer.
Information below is from www.wildlifeillinois.org/.../help-for-orphaned.../
Female deer (known as does) leave their fawns unattended for several hours at a time and typically return to nurse their fawns at dawn and dusk. A fawn’s job is to lie quiet and motionless in tall grass or other cover and wait for its mother. Sometimes fawns choose unusual places to wait like a window well or a sunny deck. They are often found alone, because they do not flee from danger until they are about 14 days of age, and they do not forage with their mother until they are older.
If you find a fawn by itself, do not move it unless it is in harm’s way. While it may look helpless and abandoned, the mother is nearby, even though you don’t see her. If the fawn must be moved, try to find cover very nearby so that the doe can easily find the fawn when she returns to nurse it. Does in suburban areas are familiar with human smells, and they will not abandon a fawn that has been touched by a human. Keep children and pets away from the area so they don’t accidentally injure or stress the fawn.
If the fawn you found is truly orphaned (e.g., it has been wandering around bleating continuously for two or three days, or you know the doe is dead), then it is time to call a wildlife rehabilitator who is licensed to care for deer. The condition of an orphaned fawn will deteriorate quickly if it is not nursing. Fawns require special care. Do not feed the fawn or attempt to care for it yourself.
It is illegal to keep a fawn unless you have a permit. Taking a fawn from its natural habitat and teaching it to associate food with humans is doing the fawn a disservice. Once the fawn matures, it will be too large to stay in a house or garage. Deer like these are often illegally released in a natural area once they are grown, but they are likely to suffer an early death. Human-habituated deer may also pose a danger to pets and people, especially during deer mating season.
Find a wildlife rehabilitator:

All true 😘 and we were the blessed 🙌 recipients who had a baby deer and her momma choose our yard/deck area as their resting place. Loved 😍 it!
