About
When the Wisconsin glacier melted, it left behind a chain of lakes - Pistakee, Nippersink, Fox, Grass, Petite, and others - in the Fox River Valley.
The Illinois Fox River Chain of Lakes is the busiest inland recreational waterway per acre in the entire United States. Only an hour’s drive from Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rockford, and with over 7,100 acres of water, 15 lakes and 45 miles of river.
Today, Fox Lake is a haven for many water sports enthusiasts; the area remains one of the busiest aquatic vacation sites in the United States. Centrally located in the “Heart of the Chain O’ Lakes”, Fox Lake offers its residents and visitors a rich history, natural beauty, and unique business opportunities.
