About Us

The Wonder Lake Marina is located in northeastern Illinois near main highways to Chicago and the suburbs. We are on beautiful Wonder Lake “where the magic spell of the northland” has captivated people since 1929.

The marina was built in 1964. Today the marina is a full service marina with a barge service. We can do anything from installing and removing boat lifts or docking to ‘on the spot welding’. We offer boat slip rentals which include a boat lift. We have a technician to service most makes and models and a large parts department that has a good selection in-stock. We also have fuel service, shrink wrapping, winterizing and winter storage is offered.

The Captains store has a good selection of boating accessories such as life vests, ropes, tubes, oil, lube, etc.

Also there are sundresses, beach wear, t-shirts, sweatshirts and summertime jewelry.

Dock Dogs Restaurant is located inside the Captain's Store of the marina serving Italian beefs, nacho boats, tamales, ice cream and of course the best hot dogs. Dock Dogs is open on weekends, Memorial Day thru Labor Day.
