Lake of the Woods Estates is a subdivision of approximately 400 in Peoria County, Illinois. The center of the neighborhood is a man-made lake covering approximately 40 acres (160,000 m2). The neighborhood is governed by a homeowners association.

Created by real estate developer Harold Jenn in the 1960s, Lake of the Woods Estates was at the beginning of a decades-long population shift towards the north in Peoria, a trend that continues today.
