Green Oak Township waterfront homesAll my lake guides

Welcome to Fish Lake

This Fish Lake is in Green Oak Township, Livingston County, off South Fairlane Drive with South Lyon mailing addresses (MichiganLakes.com), about 23.5 miles from downtown Fenton. It sits next to Dollar Lake, Sandy Bottom Lake and Limekiln Lake (MichiganLakes.com). When I checked in October 2026, my site had no Fish Lake homes for sale, so the button above shows all Green Oak Township waterfront homes, and I'm happy to set up a saved search just for Fish Lake.

Lake Overview

• Location: Green Oak Township, Livingston County (MichiganLakes.com).
• Size: about 40 acres in DNR data (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA); EGLE MiEnviro inland lakes mapping shows about 41 acres, and MichiganLakes.com lists 37 acres with depths of 44 feet.
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Fish Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls).
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Fish Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 16 buildings near the shore.

Living on Fish Lake

Fish Lake is a small lake with only about 16 buildings near the shore. It's part of a cluster of small lakes near South Lyon, and the DNR keeps an inland lake map for it (Michigan DNR inland lake map list). Homes here rarely come up, so a saved search is the best way to catch one.

Green Oak Township & Schools

Fish Lake homes are in Green Oak Township with South Lyon addresses. The nearby Ten Mile Lake listing on my site is in South Lyon Community Schools, but Green Oak Township is split among school districts, so I confirm the district and utilities 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 Green Oak 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.
• I didn't find a published lake association or lake special assessment for Fish 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.
• On a small lake, ask about frontage width, water depth at the dock and any shared access lots nearby.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the privacy of a small, lightly built lake near South Lyon.
• Say "Fish Lake, Green Oak Township, South Lyon" so buyers don't confuse it with other Fish Lakes.
• Have survey, dock and septic or sewer details ready.
