deeded access
Every property in our subdivision has deeded access to the lake, a private 830 acre recreational reservoir created in 1929 by the construction of a dam across the Nippersink Creek, nippersink.org. The Lake is managed by the Master Property Owners Association, Inc., wlmpoa.org. Nippersink Creek is the largest tributary to the Fox River and one of the few remaining high quality streams in IL.
The Wooded Shores subdivision was annexed following the 2002 annexation of the lake into the Village of Wonder Lake. The annexation has enabled us to develop a road reconstruction program for the 2 miles of road right of way.
