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.

Nice place to get away from it all. You must buy the land and pay a yearly assessment. Cheaper than most mobile home park because you can only have camping trailers or tents. Pools and lakes ,beach pavilion with dancing and other events. Teen center, ice cream, basketball, tennis,mini golf,restaurant, security, volleyball, boating,arts and crafts .

Great place to get away from the city life. There's lakes, pools, trails etc. Great place to be out doors & enjoy fresh air. You get to see lots of wild animals. If your a fishermen there's plenty of fish here. They have vending machines with bait if need be. Also a small store for drinks or small necessities.
