Recreation
Lakemoor borders Lily Lake, a glacial lake of approximately 89 acres (360,000 m2). A village park, with playground, basketball and volleyball courts, and a beach occupy its eastern shores, while a boat launch provides water access from IL-Rte 120. Boat motors are limited to under 10 horsepower, but a small electrical motor provides enough power for access anywhere on the lake. The lake is populated by largemouth bass (catch and release only), bluegill, crappie, carp, and perch.
The Fox River flows through the area, providing ample opportunity for summer and winter water sports.
Four state parks and six county conservation areas are nearby, including Moraine Hills State Park and the Volo Bog State Natural Area.
