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.

What Our Guests Say About Us
As we approach the season and continue to review the deer population at Woodhaven Lakes, we wanted to inform/remind Owners of the procedure when encountering a dead deer on property.
If you should happen upon a dead deer, please immediately inform Public Safety by calling 815-849-5915. A member of either the Public Safety Department or Maintenance/Resources Department will collect the deer as timely as is possible. When feasible, based on several factors including the condition of the carcass, we will reach out to the IDNR to collect the deer for testing.

We found one on our lot last year and they came out really quick to take care of it. Still sad thinking about it, but you have to accept all the parts of nature to appreciate it.
That’s what the coyotes are for
Fresh kill... freezer food!
Yes it’s part of nature unfortunately we didn’t get that lucky when we called on a fresh deceased deer they could have tested but they waited too long over 4 days. Then reported a yearling over a week ago and it took over 5 days to recover it
Siren Testing 5/2/24: Sometime mid-morning to afternoon Thursday, upon completion of the new siren install, we will be testing the sirens. In the event of inclement weather, testing will be postponed. ... See MoreSee Less

I was at Woodhaven for spring fling and was very disappointed with the number of dogs attending the activities. My 3-year-old granddaughter was visiting. We were in the petting zoo when a man come up with a big dog who started barking. Not only did it scare my granddaughter, it scared the animals as well. I know you don't have the man power to be everywhere, but can so.ething be done besides nust mentioning it in the Wodhaven News. When we had a dog, we never brought her anywhere. She learned to wait for us in the trailer.
Will they be there tomorrow too? Woodhaven Lakes
