White Lake, 540 Acres, Oakland County
However, there is a White Lake in Oakland County that is approximately 540 acres in size and is located at latitude 42.66397095 and longitude -83.5749054. This lake is serviced by a public boat launch located within White Lake Oaks Park. The boat launch is operated by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and is open from 7 am to 9 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day and from 9 am to 7 pm during the rest of the year.
According to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation website, the boat launch at White Lake is a concrete ramp that is 24 feet wide. It is capable of accommodating larger boats and has a dock for loading and unloading passengers and gear. The website also notes that the lake is suitable for a variety of watercraft, including power boats, sailboats, canoes, and kayaks. However, it is important to note that the specific regulations for watercraft allowed on the lake may vary depending on factors such as the time of year or water level.
Overall, while I was unable to find information on a boat ramp specifically named White Lake, it appears that the White Lake in Oakland County is serviced by a well-maintained public boat launch that is suitable for a variety of watercraft.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
