Welcome to Long Lake
Long Lake in Davison Township is a small Genesee County lake about 17 miles from downtown Fenton, with Davison as the nearest town. (Michigan has several Long Lakes; this page is only the Davison Township water.) Shoreline homes are limited, so I'll help you verify access and deed rights. There's no Long Lake listing right now, so use the Davison Township waterfront button above to see what's nearby.
Lake Overview
- Location: Davison Township, Genesee County, about 17.4 miles from downtown Fenton; Davison is the nearest town.
- Size: about 13 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA).
- County note: the DNR named-lakes list places a Long Lake in Oakland County, while the mapped centroid falls in Genesee County (likely straddles the line). This page covers the Davison Township / Genesee side only.
- Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming this Davison Township Long Lake (Michigan DNR Genesee County watercraft controls). Do not apply Oakland or Lapeer Long Lake motor rules; those are different lakes.
- Shoreline: limited development - Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 13 buildings near the shore.
- Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for this Long Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific 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. I'll check Davison Township zoning 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 this Davison Township Long 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 Long Lake listing right now, so let me set up a saved search.
- Because several Michigan lakes share the Long Lake name, we'll confirm the exact water and deeded rights on any listing.
Tips for Sellers
- Lead with the quiet, small-lake setting and the short drive to Davison.
- Document your frontage, dock and water depth at the shore.
- Have well, septic or sewer records ready.
