Welcome to Pete Lake

Pete Lake is a small, private lake in Genoa Township, Livingston County, about 17 miles from downtown Fenton. Federal place-name records also call it Grand Beach Lake (USGS place-name record) the name used on listings. My site had one Grand Beach Lake listing in October 2026, and the first button above always shows what's available today.

Lake Overview

• Location: Genoa Township, Livingston County, about 3.2 miles northwest of Brighton (USGS place-name record).
• Also known as: Grand Beach Lake; homes sit along Grand Beach Drive in the Grand Beach subdivision (current listing).
• Size: about 20 acres in DNR data (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA); EGLE MiEnviro inland lakes mapping shows about 20 acres.
• Motors: a recent Grand Beach Lake sale was listed as a private, no-motor lake (sold listing).
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Pete Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls).
• Public access: I didn't find a published public boat launch for Pete Lake. Ask me, and we'll confirm what applies to a specific home.
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 41 buildings near the shore.

Living on Pete Lake

Pete Lake is made for kayaks and quiet mornings. The Grand Beach Drive listing on my site has 148 feet of shoreline across three lots and a nearby home with 60 feet of shoreline sold in September 2026 for $535,000 (sold listing).

Genoa Township & Schools

Pete Lake is in Genoa Township, with Brighton mailing addresses. Both Grand Beach Lake homes I checked in October 2026 were in Howell Public Schools, and the current listing uses a private well. 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 Genoa 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.
• Genoa Township held hearings in August 2026 on a Grand Beach Lake aquatic weed-control special assessment for the winter 2026 tax bill (Genoa Township's Aug. 3, 2026 agenda). I'll confirm the amount and any dues 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.
• Grand Beach listings show a mix of direct frontage and lake privileges, so confirm exactly what comes with the lot.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with the quiet, no-motor water and your shoreline.
• Use both names, "Pete Lake" and "Grand Beach Lake," so buyers find you.
• Have well, septic or sewer, and survey records ready.
