Geography[edit]

The county line of Porter and Lake counties runs directly through the center of the Four Seasons. While the entire community, both the Porter and Lake County sides, have Crown Point mailing addresses, the school districts attended by the children who reside within the community are separated by county. Residents on the Porter County side are considered part of the Porter Township school system, whereas those on the Lake County side are in the Crown Point school system.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.7 square miles (7.0 km²), of which 2.3 square miles (5.9 km²) are land and 0.42 square miles (1.1 km²), or 15.39%, are water.^[5] The Lakes of the Four Seasons consist of Lake Holiday, an impoundment on the East Branch of Stony Run, plus Big Bass Lake, Lake on the Green, and Trouthaven Lake. Big Bass Lake connects to Lake Holiday, which via Stony Run drains south and west to the Kankakee River, part of the Illinois River watershed. Lake on the Green has no surface outlet, while Trouthaven Lake drains northwest to the Deep River, which winds north to the Little Calumet River and Lake Michigan.
