Lake Lansing

Lake Lansing is a 485-acre (2.0 km²) lake in Haslett, Michigan just a few miles northeast of the state's capital city of Lansing.

Overview

Lake Lansing was originally known as Pine Lake, and was a highly popular recreation site in the early 1900s. The name was changed to Lake Lansing in 1927. The lake soon began to decline in recreational popularity, and was neglected for many decades until it was dredged in 1978, restoring the health of the lake. About 280 homes now surround the lake. Two sailing clubs also have property on the lake. In addition there are two public parks.

A special assessment district created by the township enables education, ongoing testing, evaluation and management of the lake to control weeds, encourage phosphorus free fertilization, round up geese and other activities to keep the lake healthy and safe for recreational use.

The Lake Lansing Property Owners Association maintains a communication system for property owners, works for safety on the lake, sponsors numerous social activities and advocates on behalf of its members on riparian rights and other issues.
