Welcome to the website of Woodside Lake, a private community lake located in McLean, VA. The lake is owned and managed by the Woodside Estates Corporation. You can email us at woodsidelake@gmail.com for additional information. To learn more about the history of this treasured natural resource, see the ABOUT THE LAKE section of this website.
Per email communication to lake members, as of 29 October 2022, the lake water is safe for water entry activities. The recent commercial water treatment in addition to the recent cooler weather was effective in treating the algae blooms.
