How would I describe Seymour Lake in Oakland County? It is a peaceful and quiet lake north of Clarkston. It is an electric motor only. Usually this means the lake is cleaner because gas and oil is not polluting the lake.
Seymour Lake homes are average size homes. This is another lake that really does not have mega mansions on it. I have a great story about Seymour Lake. I pulled up to a house to talk the owner and find out more about the lake because they were doing outside work. Amazingly the lady's house I pulled up to was a lady that I had gone to Michigan State with 43 years ago. It gets to be a very small world. I try to gather as much information as possible about the lake by doing research on the MLS and by talking to local lake residents.
