Lake Sherwood and its Country Club have been attracting celebrities and film crews since 1922 when Douglas Fairbanks starred in Robin Hood, with the natural forest background the backdrop for Sherwood Forest. It’s how Lake Sherwood got its name. In 1938, Errol Flynn also starred in a remake with major scenes being shot in "Sherwood Forest." Other films and scenes were also made there, such as Tarzan, Jungle Jim, Lost Horizon, What Did You Do In The War, Daddy, and most recently, Bridesmaids in 2011.

Lake Sherwood and the Country Club community is home to many celebrities, either full-time, historically or for vacation homes. William Randolph Hearst was the first who used it as a vacation getaway in the 1920s and 30s. Paul Anka moved there in 2007 and owns numerous properties there. Tom Petty, Pete Sampras, Bridgett Wilson, Sylvester Stallone and Britney Spears add to the celebrity list.
