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!

Pool 2 will be closed this upcoming week to perform some not so routine maintenance. We are currently losing about 5,000 gallons of water per day, and hope to find a solution to minimize this water loss in the coming week, with the goal of opening the pool back up for the weekend. We will keep you informed as we move through the week. ... See MoreSee Less
I find that amount of loss hard to imagine. Where is it going?
Ouch
It must be a lack of people peeing in the pool
Sounds like a broken filtration pipe. Next will be a ground wash out or sink hole as a result

Is there any finding for low income families whose kids want to have fun?
Are you guys able to accommodate neurodiverse kids?
Thank you for restructuring the registration process. This gives all parents a fair opportunity to register first camp.

Good afternoon fellow anglers. With the stocking of the catfish in the lakes a few days ago, we also had one catfish tagged and placed into one of the 5 smaller lakes (Bluegill, Black Oak, Sunset, Pine and Hidden Lake). This Catfish Competition will take place throughout the entire summer until the fish is caught. As the weeks go by, we will continue to update and narrow down the lake the catfish is in. Happy fishing everyone! ...
A sly, beautiful visitor at the gate this morning 🦊 ...
