City/town information

Walled Lake is a small town with a great beach surrounded by other lakes communities. Although I do not partake nor do I promote drug use, I am aware that people come to Walled Lake to visit our dispensaries since we are one of the only communities that allows the direct sale of recreational marijuana. Lume and Bazonzos are both within a 3-mile walk.
