Wonder Lake Homes
Wonder Lake homes are located in a small village on the west side of McHenry on Rt. 120. Owning real
estate or living in this area entitles one to a variety of clubs & associations. With the population of only 1,345 people, this village is a big
ease from the big city.
Fishing and Boating
Wonder Lake, Illinois, is centrally located
in McHenry County and is the largest man made lake in Illinois. Wonder Lake is
a private lake with restricted access whose uses include boating, fishing,
water-fowl hunting and aesthetics.
After some 60 years of continual and diverse use of the lake, the MPOA felt it
was important to assess how water quality is being effected. The primary lake
uses include boating, fishing, water-fowl hunting and aesthetics. However, as
a result of years of sedimentation originating from the large agricultural and
urbal watershed, the lake has become degraded in terms of water quality,
navigational access, and excessive bottom feeding rough fish (carp)
populations. This degraded condition was characterized as hyper-eutrophic,
i.e. large quantities of suspended sediments, algal growth, and turbid water,
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and the Northeastern
Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) in 1990 through its Lake Water Quality
Assessment Program.
Recognizing their responsibility to all property owners with lake rights, the
MPOA delegates in 1994, approved by-law changes that mandated the MPOA
directors to meet monthly and to become a pro-active force in the management
of the lake. In an effort to focus their efforts to manage the lake, the
Directors established the following goals:
Promote Subdivison Cooperation
Improve lake Water Quality, (to include the development of a lake
renewal/restoration plan)
Promote Cooperation with County, State, & Federal Agencies
Develop Water Safety Programs
Reduce Pesticide Use
