Celebrating in Island Lake
Island Lake straddles the Lake and McHenry County line, set near Wauconda in the northwest suburbs. Route 176 runs through the village, residential streets fan out around the small lake that gives the town its name, and newer subdivisions sit beside older cottages. It is a quiet, family-focused community with easy access to the northwest suburbs. Getting a feel for how Island Lake is laid out, from the main roads to the quiet side streets, is the first step in planning a smooth delivery.
Newer subdivisions have yards that suit graduation and birthday tents. Check ground slope and drainage.
