Default A Lake Reborn - Newburgh Lake, Livonia, MI

Hey Gang,

I thought I’d take some time to introduce some of you folks to my “home lake”, Newburgh Lake in Livonia, MI. Newburgh lake’s just a few miles from my house, and has been my “go-to” body of water since catching the bass-fishing bug a few weeks back.

I also plan on using this lake as a resource in a lot of upcoming posts, so I figured I’d get this post up for future reference.

Thanks in advance to checking this out,

GP

Introduction to Newburgh Lake

Newburgh Lake is a 105-acre reservoir, located in the Middle Rouge River Watershed in Hines Park, in the western suburbs of Detroit, MI. The lake was contaminated for many years, but underwent a major renovation in the late 1990’s to offer a great community retreat for a number of recreational activities… including fishing!

Newburgh lake is a no-swim lake. In addition, boating is restricted to man-powered craft only – no motors allowed (although I have seen bass-crawlers with small trolling motors out there, I wouldn’t recommend it with a Wayne Country Sheriff’s office sitting in the northeast side of the lake). While this may seem like a PITA, in reality it leaves a vast area of the lake under very light fishing pressure.

Newburgh also houses two fishing piers (one on the northern bank, mid-lake at Newburgh Point, another on the north-eastern edge at Sumac point). In the winter, the lake is swept for ice-skating and ice fishing.
