Lake Carroll is a private man-made recreational lake located in Carroll County, Illinois. It was formed in 1974 by the damming of the east fork of the Plum River near the town of Lanark, Illinois. The earthen dam[2] is owned and operated by the Lake Carroll Association.[3] It is the largest private lake in the state of Illinois.[citation needed] Access to the lake is permitted only to members of the Lake Carroll Association, which is composed of the owners of property both on and off the lake. The community surrounding the lake is the Lake Carroll census-designated place.
