Welcome to the Bayles Lake website!

Bayles Lake is a Lake Community with 260 residential homes surrounding a 237 acre man-made reservoir constructed in the early 1950's fed by a natural spring, located in Central Illinois. The average depth of the lake is 8-16 ft with a maximum of 22 ft. The Lake is annually stocked and is one of the best ranked fishing locations in North America.

Not only is Bayles a Lake Community, it is also a Golf Course Community featuring Lakeview Country Club. Lakeview Country Club measures 3180 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 115 and a 35.2 USGA rating. The course features 3 tee sets for different skill levels.  The course is 9 holes, with tee boxes moved for each hole to make it an 18 hole course.

The Bayles Lake Auxiliary, Homeowners Association as well as residents supply year-round fun and entertainment such as chili cook-offs, bean bag tournaments, wine and cheese socials, live bands and karaoke on the water, bonfires, and the best 4th of July celebration with a fireworks display that is absolutely out of this world. With our state of the art pickleball courts, this highly sought after HOA Lake Community is surrounded by beautiful small towns and farm country. Just 30 minutes north of the University of Illinois in Champaign and 2 hours south of Chicago the residents here have found their piece of paradise.
