Water leaves Wooster by a small creek along the northern shoreline and flows into Duck Lake, eventually draining into the Fox River.

During significant rain events (such as in June 2004), 20.5 pounds (9.3 kilograms) of phosphorus per day were recorded as spilling in at just this one measured location.

As reported by the Lake County Historical Museum's Diana Dretske, Jacob L. Beilhart founded the communitarian group called the Spirit Fruit Society on the shores of Wooster Lake, after purchasing a 90-acre tract known as the Dahlziel Farm in 1905.

Over the next two years the society built a spacious house and later a large barn entirely by hand.

In keeping with the society's beliefs in simplicity, he was buried in a plain coffin in an unmarked grave overlooking Wooster Lake.
