Here is the list of the biggest all sports lake in Waterford.  All of these beautiful lakes have all sorts of sizes, and styles of lake homes on them.  Years ago many lakes in Waterford were weekend getaways for Detroiters in the 1920's to 1950's.  Little lake cottages were scattered around Waterford's lakes.  Over the years many of them have been remodeled and added onto.  Some were torn down to make way for bigger custom built homes.  Sometimes there were even multiple homes torn down to build a custom luxury estate home.   There are not many good vacant lake lots left to build on.  They are very rare.  Usually if there is a lake lot left there is something wrong with it.  If you are looking for a lake house in Waterford then you may want to see homes on these lakes

The  community of Waterford in Oakland County Michigan has about 34 lakes and many different ages of lakefront homes.  There are many parks that have access to the lakes, including the Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area, Dodge Brothers State Park and Waterford Oaks county park. A few of these lakes are so big that they are in other cities too, as the community boundaries run through the center of the lake.  No matter what you are looking for you will surely find it here in Waterford Township.  MI. 

Sylvan-Otter Lake.  There is an incredibly wide variety of waterfront homes on Sylvan Lake, located in several different Michigan cities, including Keego Harbor, the City of Sylvan Lake, and Waterford Township, all of which are a part of Oakland County, Michigan.  Sylvan Lake encompasses Otter Lake and is a total of 532 acres, with a maximum depth of 71 feet.  There is a public beach with public access, but this is semi-private, because it is for Sylvan Lake’s waterfront residents only.  All sports vehicles are allowed on Sylvan Lake, and it is also home to the Oakland County, Michigan Boat Club, which provides a private social club and marina and sponsors great events on the lake.  Sylvan Lake is one of the absolute finest places to live waterfront in Oakland County, Michigan.

Boating on Cass Lake

Cass Lake in Waterford Twp Michigan, is one of the very largest lakes in SE Michigan.  It is a very large lake, at 1280 acres! The lake also lies in West Bloomfield and Keego Harbor.  There is a sandbar area where people gather to talk and have fun in shallower water.  This lake is definitely all sports and is perfect for wake-boarding, skiing, tubing, and more! This lake is not private, there are public access beaches along the shoreline in multiple spots. One of the public areas is through Dodge Park, which has over 80 parking spots. There is definitely room for your friends on this lake. As for the kids, of course they will love living on this lake, but also might not have to change schools. The children on this lake attend: Waterford, and West Bloomfield schools!

Up next I have Maceday Lake in Waterford Twp MI. Maceday Lake is also large.  It is one of the deeper glacial lakes in the area.  Many people remark on how clean it is.  Another one of Waterford's large all sports lake.  It is an all-sports lake as well as a good fishing lake.. The acreage is about 234, but combined with Lotus Lake, is about 419. The lake connects to Lotus Lake which is also all-sports! The homes on Maceday lake run on municipal water, wells, and sewer-sanitary, and septic systems. The lots range from 35′ to 0.7 of an acre. The square footage of most homes on this lake range from, 900-3200 sqft. There is also a great variety of home styles. The kids on this lake will either attend Clarkston, or Waterford Schools.

Lastly I have Watkins Lake in Waterford Twp MI. Watkins Lake is a private all-sports lake.   The lake association is strong and the launch area is gated.  Anybody that is not a resident on the lake is not going to be boating here.  The lake is about 238 acres and 25 feet deep! This lake is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the lake life in a wonderful community. One of the neighborhoods on the lake even started a community Garden. This truly shows the quality of people you will encounter here on this lake. The kids all attend Waterford Schools and trust me they will have a blast in the summer. Meeting new friends on the water, dressing up for boat parades, tubing around the lake, or learning how to wake-board. This lake has the peace and calm of knowing you wont have the general public coming in and out, along with the fun and excitement of getting together with great people around the lake.
