Welcome to Buck Lake

Buck Lake is in Hamburg Township, Livingston County, northeast of Strawberry Lake, with homes along Buckshore Drive and Whitmore Lake mailing addresses (MichiganLakes.com). It's about 23.9 miles from downtown Fenton. When I checked in October 2026, my site had one Buck Lake home for sale, 6390 Buckshore Drive, a two-bedroom ranch with a dock.

Lake Overview

• Location: Hamburg Township, Livingston County (MichiganLakes.com).
• Size: about 35 acres in DNR data (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA); EGLE MiEnviro inland lakes mapping also shows about 35 acres, while MichiganLakes.com lists 43 acres.
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Buck Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls). The current listing describes it as an all-sports lake (listing).
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Buck Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 81 buildings near the shore, a lot for a lake this size.

Living on Buck Lake

Buck Lake is a small, well-loved neighborhood lake. The current listing talks about four-season fun there: boating, fishing, swimming and ice skating. It also mentions easy access to US-23 for commuting to Ann Arbor or connecting to I-96.

Hamburg Township & Schools

Buck Lake homes are in Hamburg Township with Whitmore Lake addresses, and the current listing is in Pinckney Community Schools. Hamburg Township waterfront homes on my site today are in Pinckney Community Schools or Brighton Area Schools, so I confirm the district for every address.

Tips for Buyers

• Understand riparian rights. Michigan waterfront ("riparian") owners generally have rights to dock and reach the water (EGLE inland lakes guide). "Lake privileges" or a shared lot is different, so read the deed and any easement.
• Know the local rules. I'll check Hamburg Township zoning, association rules, and any dock or shoreline rules for the specific parcel.
• Seawalls and permanent docks generally need an EGLE permit, while seasonal docks usually don't (EGLE dock handout). Ask for permit records.
• Confirm sewer or septic and well, and schedule inspections for any private system.
• Check the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and get a flood insurance quote early.
• The current listing is in the Hiawatha Beach subdivision and lists HOA fees, so I'll get the association's dues and rules in writing. I didn't find a published lake association or lake special assessment for Buck Lake. Hamburg Township's weed control district (Hamburg Township Aquatic Weed Control S.A.D.) lists Gallagher, Long, Strawberry and Zukey lakes and the Huron River, not Buck Lake. I'll confirm any dues or assessments on the parcel in writing.
• Taxable value generally "uncaps" after a sale (MCL 211.27a), so don't budget off the seller's tax bill.
• The current listing shows public sewer and a private well. Confirm both for any home you consider.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the four-season lake lifestyle and the easy US-23 commute.
• Say "Buck Lake, Hamburg Township, Whitmore Lake" so buyers don't confuse it with other Buck Lakes.
• Have dock, association and utility details ready.
