Welcome to Myers Lake

Myers Lake is a small, spring-fed private lake in Argentine Township, about nine miles from downtown Fenton, with Byron as the nearest town. There's no Myers Lake listing right now, so use the Argentine Township waterfront button above to see what's nearby.

Lake Overview

• Location: Argentine Township, Genesee County, about 9.2 miles from downtown Fenton; Byron is the nearest town.
• Size: about 31 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA). The Ed Constable Team lake guide lists 33 acres and a 40-foot maximum depth, and says the DNR counts 52 separate springs feeding the lake.
• Access: the Ed Constable Team lake guide describes Myers as a private lake the public may access only by camping overnight at the campground affiliated with the Methodist Church. Myers Lake Camping & Cabins in Byron lists a sandy beach and lakeside deck (campground amenities).
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Myers Lake.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 48 buildings near the shore.

Living on Myers Lake

Myers Lake suits buyers who want a small, spring-fed lake and a slower pace. Because a campground shares the lake, visit a home on a summer weekend before you buy. Byron, Linden and downtown Fenton are all a reasonable drive.

Argentine Township & Schools

Myers Lake is in Argentine Township. Argentine Township addresses can carry Linden, Byron, Gaines or Montrose ZIP codes (Wikipedia). Byron is the nearest town, and current listings on nearby McKane Lake show Byron Area Schools (Murray Road listing), while Lobdell Lake listings in the same township show Linden Community Schools. The district varies by address, so I confirm it, plus sewer or septic and well, 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 township dock rules. Argentine Township limits docks to 200 square feet and 50 feet long per buildable lot with riparian frontage, set at least 5 feet from the property line (Ordinance 46).
• 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 Myers 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 listing right now, so let me set up a saved search for Myers Lake.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the spring-fed water and the small-lake setting.
• Document your frontage, dock and water depth at the shore.
• Have well, septic or sewer records ready.
