What to See

There are six lakes that are at least partially in Lakewood, including a portion of Crystal Lake, one of the area’s most popular natural attractions. Along with the private beaches along West Lake, and  the south shore of Crystal Lake, Lakewood has two public beaches along Crystal Lake that provide free parking to all Lakewood village residents.

The village also has several natural wetlands and natural areas including the Kishwaukee Fen Nature Preserve.  

All residents of Lakewood are part of the Crystal Lake Park District, and therefore able to enjoy all of the courts, facilities and activities in Brighton Oaks Park as well as boating on Crystal Lake.

Portions of Lakewood are in Illinois’ 14th district congressional district, while other areas of the village are in the 6th district.

In the 6th district, Sean Casten is running against the incumbent Peter Roskam, who has held the 6th district congressional seat since 2006.
