I give this lake 5 stars because it fulfils all I require from a laking experience. Some folks like…read morea mini jobie nooner every weekend, I like to chill. I don't want to hear other people's children "playing" or whatever it is they do that's so loud. I don't want to vie for space on the sand bar. I don't want to hear other people's music, or see them dancing. You get the point, I'm not into the social scene that can be typical of Michigan lakes. You might be saying "why don't you get your own lake then you anti social jerk?". Well, that's basically what Orchard Lake is. It's amazing. There is literally like, no one on this lake 99% of the time. If you're lucky enough to be able to boat during the weekdays, you can often be the ONLY person on the water. You could totally lay out nude and no one would even be around to see you. The busy weekends don't really seem busy, and I have yet to feel crowded or annoyed. It's silent, peacful, serene and relaxing. Perfect. This is a VERY clean lake, and I believe it's the second or third largest in Oakland County. The water is clear and sparkling in most areas except for the very deepest parts. There is only seaweed in a few spots but these are not the chill areas and are easy to avoid. I love the variety of wildlife that can be seen on this lake including egrets, swallows, hawks, ducks, swans and lots of cute little fish that seem happy to hang out by the humans. The sandbar is spotless, probaly due to the "no drinking" poloicy that we, of course, follow to a T. LOL. The no drinking policy is most likely what keeps this lake fairly empty, and it works for me.

Then every time we tried to take a group out on it, it was extremely difficult to start. Even the woman who showed us how to start it had problems and then showed us the "trick" on how to start it. The boat had duck tape all over it, cob webs and the prop even had pieces knocked out everywhere! We finally called them and asked them to come and pick it up because it was more trouble than it was worth. When the owner came to pick it up and my husband asked if we could possibly get a partial refund since we weren't able to use it much and turned it in early, he replied rudely "if you had listened to how to start it then you wouldn't have had any problems!" He even had some trouble starting it and when he did he had to immediately put it in gear and it jumped forward. Not the way you should have to start a boat. We own a boat and had several people who own boats or have owned them and no one could believe the problems we had and how he had to start it. As he was driving away he reached down and handed me my cash deposit and practically ran over me. I said we'll be sure and tell everyone not to rent from you and he replied everyone loves this boat - I don't see how they possibly could! Now I know why their name is Last Resort Marina, even if they were the "last resort" I would NEVER rent from them again!!!

There were also grills so we were able to grill hot dogs, burgers, and veggie burgers. Tons of picnic tables as well and even a few shady places to sit, to escape the sun.

Super nice place and hopefully I'll be back at some point this summer.
