Welcome to Shadow Lakes
                                                          So easy to get to...So hard to leave

Located only 55 minutes southwest of Chicago in Braidwood, IL, this gated year-round resort and residential community offers a very unique opportunity for affordable recreational living where boating, fishing and swimming can be enjoyed on pristine spring fed stocked lakes.  Miles of nature trails offer the opportunity to hike, bicycle or use your electric golf cart, the preferred mode of transportation in Shadow Lakes, and enjoy the outdoors.

Planned activities are offered throughout the year as well as amenities which include a swimming pool (a kiddie pool too), sandy beach, two playgrounds, basketball and sand volleyball courts, fishing piers and even a dogpark.  A community center is available to property owners for parties and special events and there is usually something great happening at the Amenity Center and covered outdoor Pavilion.  Shadow Lakes is where past meets the present and families and friends can enjoy throwback activities like ping pong, badminton and shuffleboard.

Shadow Lakes can also serve as "home base" to many nearby attractions and activities.
