The IWLA Woodford County Chapter is a club affiliated with the National Izaak Walton League of America, whose mission is to defend the soil, air, woods, waters and wildlife. This nature conservation organization was founded nationally in 1922, making it the oldest conservation organization in the country.  The Woodford County Chapter was chartered in 1938. Most of the land was donated by Metamora native and farmer Bud Meismer.  On his land, they expanded a natural spring fed lake to 14 acres. The lake is stocked with walleye, blue gill, bass, crappy, and catfish.  There are approximately 30 camp sites on the land, a club house, Memorial Tree Grove, and 1.3 miles of hiking trails. We have 9 electric camping sites.  The electric camping sites must be reserved by contacting Guy Sasso.  This is a private club and membership is required to enjoy all the activities.
