Countryside Lake is a manmade lake located in Lake County Illinois. The private lake is in the center of the Countryside neighborhood and is designated for use by the CLA (Countryside Lake Association) and their guests. Countryside Lake was created in 1926 by putting a dam at the end of a boggy stream. After the dam was created dredging equipment was brought to clear the surrounding area to expand the stream into a lake. Since Countryside Lake is manmade it is very shallow, at a maximum depth of the lake is mostly recreational.〔"Countryside Lake Bathymetric Map." Integrated lakes management. Web. 18 Mar 2011. .〕 The lake is around so it is on the smaller side for a lake. Since the lake is so small, only boats with 15 horsepower or less are allowed on the lake, this is intended to keep the shoreline from deteriorating. Countryside Lake has one beach that has a lifeguard for most days of the summer months.〔Dane, Leonard, Michael Adam, Shaina Keseley, and Adrienne Orr. Lake County Health Department. 2007 Summary Report of Countryside Lake. Waukegan, IL: , 2007. Web. 22 Mar 2011. .〕 At the beach there is a playground, horseshoes, and numerous docks for boats. ==History== Countryside Lake was created by Samuel Insull in 1926. Since there was only a boggy stream when he started to make the lake, it was a difficult task. He began by damming the southeast end of the stream. Once the dam was built, the stream was transformed into a lake using dredging equipment to create the intended outline of the lake. Once Insull finished the lake, he built a hunting lodge on the lake that still stands today. The surrounding area of the lake is a neighborhood called Countryside. This neighborhood consists of Countryside Lake and Countryside Oaks.
