Welcome to C. S. Mott Lake

C. S. Mott Lake is a large Genesee Township lake northeast of Flint, about 21 miles from downtown Fenton, with Genesee County Parks shoreline and public launches. There's no Mott Lake listing right now, so use the Genesee Township waterfront button above to see what's nearby.

Lake Overview

• Location: Genesee Township, Genesee County, about 21.1 miles from downtown Fenton (Flint is the nearest larger city).
• Size: about 596 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA).
• Boating: Michigan DNR sets slow-no wake on C. S. Mott Lake and restricts water skiing and similar towing; flotation and motorboat rules also apply in listed Mott Lake / Flint River areas (Michigan DNR Genesee County watercraft controls, R281.725.6 and R281.725.7). Bluegill Boat Launch notes no-wake.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 36 buildings near the shore.
• Public access: DNR-listed Bluegill (A-25-005) and Stanley Road Access (A-25-006). Bluegill Boat Launch has a launch, seasonal kayak rentals, a paved shoreline trail toward Stepping Stone Falls, and park parking passes.

Living on C. S. Mott Lake

Mott Lake fits buyers who want slower-paced boating, fishing and county park trails with an easy drive to Flint. Crossroads Village and the Huckleberry Railroad are nearby. Shoreline homes are limited, so a saved search helps.

Genesee Township & Schools

C. S. Mott Lake is in the Charter Township of Genesee. Schools are primarily Genesee School District, Kearsley Community Schools and Mount Morris Consolidated Schools, with Beecher in some areas (Wikipedia; Charter Township of Genesee). I confirm the district and utilities for every home.

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. C. S. Mott Lake has Michigan DNR watercraft controls (Michigan DNR Genesee County watercraft controls), and township zoning also applies. I'll confirm both for the specific home.
• 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.
• I didn't find a published lake association or lake special assessment for C. S. Mott 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.
• There's no Mott Lake listing right now, so let me set up a saved search.
• Read the DNR slow-no wake and flotation rules before you buy a ski boat for this lake.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the large lake, public park access and slow-no wake character.
• Document your frontage, dock, permits and water depth.
• Have well, septic or sewer records ready.
