Deer Lake is one of the first lakes the Clinton River flows through, and the first lake in Independence Township, after the river rises in Springfield Township.
The Clinton River enters Deer Lake on the north end just after it passes under I-75. It exits on the south end where it enters into Middle Lake (23 acres (9.3 ha)), then into tiny Dollar Lake and then, as it crosses under Dixie Highway, into Greens Lake.[4]
Deer Lake connects on its northeast side to 5-acre (2.0 ha) Dark Lake.[5]
