Lower Straits Lake is a 236-acre all-sports lake in Commerce Township, Oakland County, Michigan, with a maximum depth of 22 feet and a surface elevation of 928 feet. Public access is available via a township-owned boat ramp on adjacent Middle Straits Lake, which includes parking for 10 vehicles.

The lake is part of a chain that includes Upper Straits Lake, Middle Straits Lake, and several other connected waterbodies. However, boat passage between the lakes is not possible due to a dam constructed in 2019-2020 separating Upper and Middle Straits Lakes.

The lake supports a diverse fish population including Blue Gill, Crappie, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Yellow Perch, Pumpkin Sunfish, and Catfish, making it an attractive destination for fishing from kayaks. The moderate depth and expansive area provide suitable conditions for various water activities.

The shoreline features a mix of residential development, including properties with canal access and lots over an acre, as well as condominiums. Notable landmarks near the lake include Edgewood Country Club and Bay Pointe Golf Club.

For paddlers' reference, the lake sits in a developed suburban setting within Commerce Township, with paved streets and homes serviced by both municipal water and well systems. The area is part of the Walled Lake School district. The lake's location provides easy access to other nearby lakes including Reed Lake and Woodbridge Lake.

While the lake is accessible to the public via the boat ramp, paddlers should be aware that this is primarily a residential lake with active recreational boat traffic, as it is designated as an all-sports lake.
