Belleville Lake is a fresh water artificial reservoir located mostly within Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan.[3] A very small portion extends west into Washtenaw County.[2] The lake was created from the construction of the French Landing Dam and Powerhouse along the Huron River in 1925.[1]
