Bush Lake is a 110-acre all-sports lake located in Holly Township, Oakland County, Michigan. The lake sits in the northwestern portion of Oakland County, approximately 50 miles north of Detroit and 15 miles south of Flint, offering a relatively undeveloped recreational escape despite its proximity to major metropolitan areas.

Access to Bush Lake is provided through the Holly Township Beach, a seasonal facility operated by the Holly Township Parks Commission. This public access point offers paddlers convenient entry to the water, along with amenities including picnic areas, playground facilities, and sand volleyball courts. The township beach is located within the Village of Holly and provides one of the few public access points on the lake. Additionally, the Village of Holly operates a boat launch on Bush Lake, though specific parking capacity information is not publicly documented.

The lake's character reflects its location in Holly Township's mixed residential and natural landscape. With 34 lakes and two rivers in the township, Bush Lake is part of a broader water-rich environment that defines this area as a recreational sanctuary. As an all-sports lake, paddlers should be prepared to share the water with motorized craft including speed boats, jet skis, and waterskiers during peak seasons. For those seeking a quieter paddling experience, early morning or weekday visits are recommended. The lake's 110-acre size provides enough space for paddlers to find calmer waters away from motorized activity.

The surrounding area features the rural character typical of Holly Township, with views of fields, forests, and water that contribute to the "Up North in Oakland County" atmosphere the community promotes. Wildlife viewing opportunities exist throughout the season, as the lake's natural shoreline and connection to Holly's broader ecosystem support various waterfowl and aquatic species. Fishing is a popular activity on Bush Lake, complementing the paddling experience for those interested in multi-use outings.
