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.
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!

What's gonna burn in this weather? Everything is saturated. Im pretty sure it's raining water not flammable liquid.
Dont worry, I think the Flooding will keep the fires away.
Good luck starting a fire with all this torrential rains.
Is this a late APRIL FOOLS joke ? ...LOL
I was just curious what parameters are used to determine a fire ban?
Rain all night and day no fire danger there.
