Lake Lansing Lake Lansing Lake Lansing is a lake in Haslett, Michigan just a few miles northeast of the state's capital city of Lansing.

The lake soon began to decline in recreational popularity, and was neglected for many decades until it was dredged in 1978, restoring the health of the lake. About 280 homes now surround the lake. Two sailing clubs also have property on the lake. In addition there are two public parks.
