Best All sports Lakes in Highland Michigan

If you love going fast in a boat or on a jet ski you are probably going to want to buy a lake home on an all sports lake in South East Michigan.  Then you can pull people on tubes, wakeboards, and water skis.  Highland has many all sports lakes but some of them are small.  Duck Lake is Highland Townships biggest all sports lake.

like most Charlick Lake home owners live on the lake all year round.  There really are no cottages on the lake.  Buying a lakefront home in Metro Detroit suburbs makes sense.  The money you save in gas alone is a benefit.  Lake living is like being on vacation all year round.

Charlick Lake homesAll the homes are on well and septic as sewers have not come to that area yet.  There are no canals on the lake and all of the lots on the lake are smaller than an acre.  Charlick lake is too small to have a water ski course.  There are only single family homes on the lake.  There are no condos on the lake.  Charlick Lake lies completely in Highland Twp.

Murray Lake is a 50 acre lake that is home to waterfront properties in Highland, Michigan.  Technically, it does allow sports water craft, but is better suited to row boats and the like, as it is a natural lake, which is an aesthetic advantage for those living waterfront on Murray Lake.  There are only about 16 waterfront homes on Murray Lake, leaving plenty of room. It also has Highland Township, Michigan land on the other side of the lake, including three farms.  Murray Lake is a beautiful place to live waterfront in Highland, Michigan.
