Welcome to Loon Lake

This Loon Lake is in Hamburg Township, Livingston County, just south of Gallagher Lake (USGS GNIS place data). It's about 2.1 miles from Lakeland in a straight line and about 26.0 miles from downtown Fenton. (Looking for the Loon Lake near Fenton and Linden? Here's my Loon Lake, Fenton Township page.) When I checked in November 2026, my site had no Loon Lake homes for sale, so the button above shows all Hamburg Township waterfront homes, and I'm happy to set up a saved search just for Loon Lake.

Lake Overview

• Location: Hamburg Township, Livingston County, south of Gallagher Lake.
• Size: EGLE MiEnviro inland lakes mapping shows about 14 acres. I didn't find this Loon Lake in the DNR named-lakes list (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA), so I'd treat that as an estimate.
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Loon Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls).
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Loon Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 54 buildings near the shore.

Living on Loon Lake

Loon is a small lake next to Gallagher, and Hamburg Township's 2025 chain of lakes plant control summary lists it with Gallagher, Strawberry and Zukey, and the 2025 work on Loon targeted curly-leaf pondweed, Eurasian milfoil, starry stonewort and algae. If boating matters to you, I'll confirm the water route from the specific home before you write an offer.

Hamburg Township & Schools

Loon Lake homes are in Hamburg Township. 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.
• Hamburg Township's chain of lakes plant control program covers Loon (Hamburg Township's 2025 chain of lakes plant control summary). Its weed control district page (Hamburg Township Aquatic Weed Control S.A.D.) names Gallagher, Long, Strawberry and Zukey, so I'll confirm whether the parcel is assessed and get the amount 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 water depth at the dock and seasonal weeds before you buy a boat.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the quiet setting and the chain connection, if your home has it.
• Say "Loon Lake, Hamburg Township" so buyers don't confuse it with other Loon Lakes.
• Have dock, survey, assessment, and well and septic details ready.
