Make Lake Fenton Your Everyday Address

Lake Fenton is more than a place to own a boat slip. It's a lakeside community of about 5,900 residents with its own school district, minutes from downtown Fenton. John Tremaine of Tremaine Real Estate can help you find your spot on or near the water.

A lake with a community around it

The U.S. Census Bureau treats the area around the lake as its own place, the Lake Fenton census-designated place. It takes in the northeast corner of Fenton Charter Township and nearly all of the lake. Only the southern tip of the lake lies inside the City of Fenton.

The community includes the lakeside neighborhoods of Lakeside on the east shore and Bayport Park on the north shore. Several smaller lakes are nearby too, including Petts, Crooked, McCully, Dollar, Little Long and Barnum lakes.

Everyday life near the lake

Its own school district

The community and the Lake Fenton Community Schools district both take their name from the lake. The district's high school, home of the Blue Devils, opened on Lahring Road in 2004. School boundaries don't follow the lake exactly, so always confirm the district for a specific address.

Parks & recreation

Fenton Township, the City of Fenton and the City of Linden share the Southern Lakes Parks & Recreation district, which runs local parks and recreation programs.

A name with history

A settlement here was platted as "Mount Pleasant" in 1840 and renamed "Long Lake" in 1850. In 1932 the U.S. Board on Geographic Names made "Lake Fenton" the official name of the lake.
