Lake Wildwood Association was established on March 3rd, 1968. We are a private, gated community centrally located between Chicago and Peoria, just north of Varna, Illinois. With over 1,400 acres of land, our country setting is abundant with wildlife such as deer, fox, hawks, geese, owls, ducks, bluebirds, raccoons, coyotes, and more!
The Lake Wildwood community has two lakes. The largest, Lake Wildwood, is 220 acres and offers boating, water skiing, fishing, and swimming. Lake Tanglewood is 18 acres and is strictly a fishing lake located near our private campground.
Lake Wildwood Association is a homeowner's association governed by Restrictive Covenants, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations. Members of the Association pay annual dues which entitles them to full use of all amenities.
Throughout the year our Recreation Committee hosts a wide variety of events and activities, some of which include: Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July Fireworks and Parade, Autumnfest, Halloween Bash, Christmas Family Event, New Year's Eve Dance, and much more!
A Tranquil Community in the Heart of Illinois
Lake Wildwood is a gated community, meaning access to the Development is granted to members of the Association and their guests only through proper procedures. Guest access without proper entry authorization will not be granted.
The security and safety of our members is of the utmost importance. With this in mind, Lake Wildwood has security at the main entry 24 hours each day of the year. We also have patrol units throughout the community...and on the lake. A Security Team member is available at the Welcome Center day and night to provide assistance our members.
The Rules and Regulations manual (often refered to as the 'Red Book') and the Restrictive Covenants and By-Laws manual (often refered to as the 'Blue Book') must be followed by all persons within the Development.
Lake Wildwood Association has vacant lots and homes for sale and works closely with area realtors. If you're looking to join the fun, visit the link below to see how you can become a part of our community.
