Cedar Island Lake is 134,144, or 169 acres (depending on which source you trust).  Cedar Island Lake is not a round lake. I would say it is more like a u-shaped lake with many fingers going off in different directions.  There are canals and little bays that many lake front homes are situated on.  On those little bays and canals you get the pleasure of living on the water but with little boat noise and no boat traffic.  Cedar Island Lake Oakland County is a all sports lake.  It would be classified as a small lake.   Like most of Michigan inland lakes lake traffic during the week is quiet.  During the weekend all the Cedar Island homeowners come out to play on the lake.

 Cedar Island Lake Public Access

Located on the west side of the lake (off Oxbox Lake Rd) It has a hard surface ramp but only has 4 parking spaces.  Which is good for residents because there are not a lot of non lake boaters on the water because of the lack of parking space.

Cedar Island Lake Fishing

The maximum depth is 72 feet deep though much of the lake is shallow.  The water is fairly clear, but it is not a lake that you can see the bottom.  Cedar Island Lake has Crappie, Bluegill, rock bass, and Largemouth Bass.  Some walleye, some northern pike, some perch, and some smallmouth bass.

Cedar Island Lakefront homes Oakland County

Cedar Island Lake properties are a mixed bag.  Some are small old Oakland County lake cottages, some are beautiful new built Oakland county Lakefront homes.  There are 3200 square foot colonials with a walkout basements.  Geoffery Fieger has a lake cottage there as of 2011.  There is even an Modern V shaped house that has an all glass front. 

Cedar Island Lake homes average in size about 2000- 2500 square feet.  There are quite a few tri and quad-level homes on the lake.  But there are smaller ranches and much bigger colonials.  There are some homes on the lake that are weekend cottages for people that live elsewhere, but most of the homes are year round homes.

Some of Cedar Island waterfront homes are on fairly flat ground but there are some that sit above the lake and require steps to get down.

Here are the lake homes that have sold between January 2010 and November 2011

Cedar Island Lake Map 

Lake home buyers are looking to buy because of the lifestyle.  The boating, the sunsets, the wildlife, and the nature around the lake.  So here is a sellers' tip:  Put out pictures of how much fun you have had on the lake over the years.

Cedar Island General info  

I have spent time on Cedar Island Lake myself.  There are multiple subdivison associations but no overall lake association.  There are dams at both ends of the lake controlling the inflow and out flow.  The lake level doesn't vary very much over the whole summer.   There are several areas on the lake that the lake residents come to intermingle and enjoy each other's company.

These "gathering spots" are shallow areas.  One area actually has a volleyball net set up on it.  Usually there is 5 or more boat parked there socializing.
