Belleville Lake - Beautiful Location & Unique History

Dammed by Thomas Edison in 1925, beautiful Belleville Lake stretches more than 8 miles and quite literally forms the West Coast of Wayne County a few hundred yards from the sunken ghost town of Old Rawsonville, located just off beautiful Van Buren Park. It's a recreational gem with a fascinating history, bright mobility future and the most relaxing atmosphere in South-East Michigan. If you're into boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, waterskiing, world-class fishing or simply chilling by the lake with great food and beverage options, then make Belleville Lake your next epic day trip!
