Upper Long Lake
Upper Long Lake is a roughly 130-acre all-sports lake set among the leafy northwest suburbs of Metro Detroit, in Oakland County, Michigan. Framed by manicured shorelines and lakeside neighborhoods, it has a reputation far beyond its size: a regional survey rated it home to the best fish community of the lakes in its area. Today it reads less as a public park than as a quietly cared-for, largely private residential water that locals prize for its clean, calm surface. Visiting is mainly about appreciating the water's character and the well-kept shoreline around it—fishing, paddling on guest- or resident-accessible stretches, and soaking in a rare patch of genuine lakeside calm inside a busy metro area.
