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.
