Lake of the Forest
A way of life, not just a place to live
Lake of the Forest is a private, historic, and tight-knit gated community in Bonner Springs, Kansas, centered around a 40-acre lake and featuring 163 homes nestled along winding, wooded roads. Just 30–45 minutes from downtown Kansas City, Lawrence, and the airport, it offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to urban amenities.
The community boasts a unique nine-hole sand green golf course—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—along with a historic clubhouse that hosts social events, dances, and even houses its own post office. Residents enjoy a vibrant lake life with swimming, boating, fishing, and family-friendly traditions like Fourth of July fireworks and golf cart drive-in movies. Generations of families call it home, and most neighbors get around by golf cart.
