Cedar Lake - Lake Villa

Lake County, Illinois

Cedar Lake is a 285-acre glacial lake in the Village of Lake Villa, a small township in northeast Illinois. Chicago is just over an hour away, an easy drive for a day trip.

Lake Villa has five high schools and many more public elementary and middle schools in the area. It is five minutes from Vista Medical Center and 46 minutes from O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

On and Around the Lake

Cedar Lake is part of Lehmann Park, where visitors have access to a volleyball court, picnic shelter with tables and grills, horseshoe pits, playgrounds, and restrooms. There is also boat access. Parking is restricted to residents only.

Anglers at Cedar Lake can expect to catch a variety of fish including black crappie, muskie, yellow perch, bluegill, northern pike, carp, and channel catfish.

The Sun Lake Forest Preserve is a 629-acre prairie and wetland refuge that includes hiking trails. Locals love to walk here and appreciate the adequate number of benches along the trail for a rest.

Those eager for a top-class meal can count on Eddie B’s Supper Club at Lehmann Mansion. A charming venue right across the street from Cedar Lake where visitors can congregate and enjoy premium cocktails and supper.

If you want to keep the party going after dinner, venture on over to Timothy O’Toole’s Pub or Nutties, two of Lake Villa’s bars that are close by to Cedar Lake.
