Geography

Ingleside is on Squaw Creek ( Also called Indian River ) between Long Lake, Duck Lake, and Fox Lake.

Ingleside lays below the Long Lake Dam and above Fox Lake. Duck lake and most of the Long Lake area are part of Ingleside. Ingleside also goes northwest to Lake Villa Illinois. Ingleside has a active modern train station, The Ingleside Post Office. The Old Grant Township hall, The Long Lake Dam, And The Fox Lake bike trail.

In the 1960s mammoth bones were found here. They are on display at the Lakes Region Historical Society Museum in Antioch Illinois.

In 2008 The Long Lake Dam was rebuilt and modernised. The dam was built in 1930 and reinforced in 1968 and 2008. The Long Lake Dam allows the control of water flowing from Long Lake to Fox Lake. Also the dam allows pleasure boat traffic from Long Lake to the rest of the Chain of Lakes.
