Welcome to the lake!Lake of the Woods is located in Van Buren County, Michigan, adjacent to the Village of Decatur and in the townships of Hamilton and Decatur. It is approximately 300 acres in size and is a full recreational lake, with fishing, boating, swimming, sailing, water skiing, and jet skiing. There are approximately 280 homes on the lake that are both year round and seasonal. There are two recreational campgrounds: Timber Trails RV Park and Lake of the Woods and Greenwoods Camp.
In July of 1980, Warren Grosvenor, along with other homeowners on the lake, formed what is now called the Lake of the Woods Improvement Association to improve the quality of the lake and it's natural resources. The Association seeks to protect and preserve our lake as it is an irreplaceable part of nature. Those of us who use and enjoy the lake are responsible for its care. We have an obligation to leave the lake clean and beautiful for future generations to enjoy. We need your help in dealing with the increasing threats to our waters from over use, exotic plants and animals, and pollution from various sources. Working together we can make a difference.
All residents are eligible to join the association and we invite you to help us protect our beautiful lake! Annual Picnic 2026The annual picnic will be held this year on July 18, 2026 at the VFW shelter. Join us for coffee, juice, fruit, and pastries.
