Northfield Township Government Office Northfield Twp lies at the northernmost edge of Washtenaw County: charming downtown, two beautiful lakes, plenty of farms & woodlands, and friendly people!

Northfield Township is located halfway between Ann Arbor and Brighton off of U.S. 23, encompassing 36 square miles and home to the area known as Whitmore Lake. Our township boasts extreme beauty, with rolling countryside, centennial farms, and a rural character that feels miles away but only minutes from the City. Whitmore Lake, one of the premier lakes in Southeast Michigan, with 750 acres of open water accommodates all sports, including fishing, boating, water skiing, etc. While here, come enjoy our many restaurants, read a book at our historic library, shop in one of our many downtown businesses, or enjoy an evening of bowling with the family. Whether it's to enjoy the many natural features we offer, spend a day on one of our lakes, play golf with a beautiful scenic backdrop, or enjoy our downtown shopping; we invite you to come Explore Northfield.

There’s much to be said for leaving fall leaves. With the help of a mulching mower, they become a natural fertilizer for your lawn. A 3-5 inch leaf layer around garden plants inhibits weeds, preserves soil moisture, and nourishes plants as leaves break down. A layer of leaves left intact provides important habitat for wildlife and insects. To reduce neighborhood flooding, keep leaves and other yard waste away from storm drains.
