Whitmore Lake is a census-designated place (CDP) and unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan.

[4] The area was first settled by land surveyors Johnathon Stratton and Luke Whitmore, who came here from nearby Ann Arbor settlement in 1825.

A post office began operating here on June 9, 1834, with George Dexter serving as the first postmaster.

Typical events include a fireworks display over the lake, a boat parade, a ski show performed by the Whitmore Lake Water Ski Club, a running / swimming race, and many other events.

[8] The Whitmore Lake Harvest Festival is a two-day event that occurs annually at the end of September, and was first established in 2007.

Established in 2008, the event raises funds for families and schools to support youth participation in athletics.

The Whitmore Lake High School Trojans are members of the Tri-County Conference.
