Welcome to Tyrone Lake

Tyrone Lake, often called Lake Tyrone, is a residential lake in Hartland Township, Livingston County, about seven miles from downtown Fenton. Many homes here carry Fenton mailing addresses even though they sit in Hartland Township. When I checked in October 2026, my site had current Tyrone Lake listings, and the button above always shows what's available today.

Lake Overview

• Location: Hartland Township, Livingston County, about 7.1 miles from downtown Fenton. The association's territory covers lakefront lots in both Hartland and Tyrone townships (LTIA articles and bylaws).
• Size: about 102 acres (Michigan's Named Inland Lakes, DNR data via MLSA).
• All-sports: current listing remarks describe Lake Tyrone as an all-sports lake.
• Boat launch: the association owns a private boat ramp; residents need current dues to use it (LTIA contacts page). I didn't find a public launch.
• Boating: I didn't find a Michigan DNR local watercraft control naming Tyrone Lake (Michigan DNR Livingston County watercraft controls).
• Name note: the lake was previously called Russell Lake (Lake Tyrone Improvement Association).
• Shoreline: Microsoft building-footprint map data shows about 237 buildings near the shore.

Living on Tyrone Lake

Tyrone Lake mixes all-sports summers with a neighborly feel, and the association helps promote social activities on the water (LTIA contacts page). You're a short drive from Fenton, Hartland and US-23, which makes it an easy commute.

Hartland Township & Schools

Tyrone Lake is in Hartland Township. The current Tyrone Lake listings I checked are in Hartland Consolidated Schools and show private wells. Hartland Township notes the lake is on a community sewer system operated through the Livingston County Drain Commission (Hartland Township's Lake Tyrone page). I confirm the district and utilities for every address. See my Hartland community page for more.

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 Hartland 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.
• The Lake Tyrone Improvement Association owns the dam and boat ramp and handles weed control and water-quality monitoring. Dues are currently $100 a year (LTIA dues page). I'll confirm dues status in writing.
• Taxable value generally "uncaps" after a sale (MCL 211.27a), so don't budget off the seller's tax bill.
• Hartland Township's Lake Tyrone page covers the lake's community sewer system and past sewer studies, so ask about any sewer charges or special assessments on the parcel.

Tips for Sellers

• Lead with all-sports water and the easy Fenton and US-23 access.
• Have your association dues status and any sewer records ready.
• Document your frontage, dock and water depth at the shore.
