DOW LAKE ORCHARD LAKE VILLAGE MI

Dow Lake is a small lake off of the larger Cass Lake, in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan.  Living waterfront on Dow Lake has its definite perks, because it is a small, quiet lake, at approximately 16-18 acres and a maximum depth of 60 feet.  Boaters and jet skiers are not going to be racy around Dow Lake is because it is too small.  However, waterfront homeowners on Dow Lake have access to the larger, all-sports Cass Lake, which provides plenty of activity as Oakland County, Michigan’s largest lake.  It is public due to the DNR access from Cass Lake, but it still remains calm and private.
