The Master Property Owners Association welcomes you to another year of recreation and enjoyment on Wonder Lake.
Wonder Lake is a private lake owned by the MPOA (Master Property Owners Association). Property owners with deeded lake rights may place equipment and accessories in / on the MPOA property provided that the MPOA regulations are followed.
The Village of Wonder Lake, Board of Trustees approved the following ordinance on May 5, 2004. This ordinance enables the Village of Wonder Lake, Lake Patrol officers to enforce the Master Property Owners Association (MPOA) Recreational Sticker Policy that requires all recreational vehicles operating on the waters of Wonder Lake to first be registered with the MPOA and display a current sticker. It also prohibits the operation of all automobiles, trucks and SUVs from entering upon Wonder Lake at any time.
Wonder Lake, and the Nippersink Creek stream channel downstream (east) of the Thompson Road Bridge, are owned by the Wonder Lake Master Property Owners Association (MPOA). Fishing is only allowed in these areas for those landowners holding deeded lake rights to Wonder Lake, or their guests, who must be accompanied by someone holding deeded lake rights. Fishing in these areas is governed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), as summarized below, with IDNR fishing licenses required for anyone 16 years of age or older.
