The Lake Fenton Property Owners Association (LFPOA) was established in 1965 for the sole purpose of maintaining and improving Lake Fenton. The Association board is composed of elected volunteer members and supported by lake riparian property owner's voluntary membership dues.
Our mission.
To promote the wise use of our lake and wetlands.
What we do.
- Monitor water quality, provide consulting on weed control, safety and health issues concerning Lake Fenton.
- Work closely with the Fenton Township Board on civic matters and ordinances that may affect the lake.
- Work with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality with regard to water quality, and building and maintaining a public access site for Lake Fenton.
- Promote social and family related events on the lake including the Fireworks and Lights on the Lake.

What's New on the Lake?
- Invasive Weed Treatment Program: Steve Hansen from PLM Lake & Land Management gave a great presentation on the Lake Fenton invasive weed treatment program at our August, 2024 board meeting. Read how the program is working and his answers to commonly asked questions about the program. The LFPOA supports the Lake Special Assessment District (SAD) to pay for invasive weed treatment. Learn more about SAD here.
- Weed Control SAD Renewal. The Fenton Township Board voted in August to renew the 5-year lake-wide SAD for weed control and to determine who will pay for it. For the last 10 years it’s been based on the number of riparian lots on the lake. At the recommendation of the LFPOA, in 2026 it will include additional shares for commercial marinas, commercial (non-rented) docks, and will remove any non-riparian lots. The average yearly cost for the 5 year program per riparian lot or share will be $56.79.
- E. Coli Test Results. We’re done weekly testing for the season, but our spring nest destruction programs are having an impact on E. Coli levels. Click this link for our weekly E. Coli reports, click sample results, click historical results, then scroll down to 2010 before we began spring goose and nest destruction. Many people don't realize Lake Fenton used to close the public beach for swimming every summer. Since the nest destruction programs started we don't have to close the beach anymore.
- Our lake is cleaner than in the past. Phosphorus levels affect the growth of algae. Thanks to residents using low-phosphorus fertilizer near the lakeshore, phosphorus levels in the lake are so low they barely register.
- Fireworks Update. Mark your calendars! The fireworks are scheduled for Saturday July 5, 2025.
