About Lake Sherwood
Lake Sherwood is an unincorporated community in the Santa Monica Mountains, in Ventura County, California, United States, overlooking Lake Sherwood reservoir. It is a body contact lake (swimming, fishing, standup paddleboarding (SUP), and boating are allowed), located south of the Conejo Valley and city of Thousand Oaks, and west of Westlake Village. The lake is naturally fed by thousands of acres of open-space, watershed mountains and natural springs.
While homes have been around the lake since the reservoir was created by the construction of Sherwood Dam in 1901, the community expanded with the development of the Sherwood Country Club golf course surrounded by luxury homes.
The ZIP Code is 91361, and the community is inside area code 805. The population was 1,759 at the 2020 census. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Lake Sherwood as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name.
