Island Lake Brighton MI

Island Lake in Green Oak Township is a public all sports lake that is about 140 acres in size.  It is 35 feet is the deepest spot on the lake.  It is a semi private lake.  The reason I say it is a semi private lake because the Island Lake State Park is on the south side of the lake.  It does not have a boat launch but it does have a beach.  The residents of the lake have a locked gate with a boat launch. 

There are no wake restrictions that I know of.  The lake is spring fed and fed also from Fonda Lake.  The School district for the lake is Brighton Schools.  The streets around the lake are mainly paved and a gravel road.  There are condominiums on the lake.  There is water ski course on the lake.  There is no marina on the lake.  There is one canals on the lake and one good sized island.

There are some later built laklefront homes....I know there is one 1960's ranch and a 2000's built colonial.  But many of the waterfront homes are smaller.    

Waterfront Homes on Island Lake Green Oak Township MI

The homes on the lake are on sewers.  Most waterfront homes have wells though some are on municipal water.  Island Lake homes have one to four bathrooms, one to five bedrooms, and some have no garages and some have up to three car garages.  There are small apartments and a motel on the south side of the lake. Island Lake home styles are bungalows, ranchs, and colonials.  The homes sit on small lots.  They homes are close together because the lots are smaller.  Most Island Lake properties have 35' & 40' of lake frontage but there are some that go up to 80'.   There are no lots over an acre on the lake. Some houses do not sit right on the lake, but they sit across a gravel road.  I also noticed one on the MLS that had 152' of lake frontage.

The typical Island Lake home in Green Oak Township is going to be older from the 1920's -1950's.  Some of them are still small 700 -1000 square foot homes but some of them have been added on to  or newer homes have been built.  Some of the lake homes are now are 1500 - 2900 square feet in size.  In fact there is on 1890 built home that has been added onto and is now a 2900 square foot colonial.

At what age do you have to buy a fishing license and when do you not need a license.  You must purchase a fishing license if you are 17 years of age or older and plan on fishing in Michigan's inland lakes. Individuals under the age of 17 may fish without a license.  Regardless of age, everyone is required to observe all fishing rules and regulations at all times. All annual fishing licenses are valid from March 1st of a given year through March 31st of the following year.

Fishing license dollars fund a variety of activities including; fish management work on the state's waters, habitat rehabilitation and protection, fish stocking, information distribution, education and outreach efforts to anglers and the public, and much more. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Division does not receive any general fund tax dollars to support its activities. Instead, Fisheries Division depends heavily on angler dollars collected through fishing license sales and federal excise tax dollars from the sale of fishing tackle (Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act) to manage Michigan's fisheries. Buying a fishing license, even if you do not plan to go fishing, can make a big difference to the future health of Michigan's prized fresh water lakes.

The money spent on fishing license does help our local lakes.
