Seven Lakes State Park

The DNR is in the process of developing a new general management plan for Seven Lakes State Park in Oakland County. The process typically takes one year to complete and is in the beginning stages. The project is facilitated by Beckett & Raeder Inc., of Ann Arbor. Public and stakeholder input will be a critical part of the process.

A park's general management plan defines a long-range (10- to 20-year) planning and management strategy to protect and preserve the site’s natural and cultural resources and provide access to land- and water-based public recreation and educational opportunities.

Public input

The public was invited to share feedback on a new draft general management plan for the park via an online survey this past June. The DNR is currently evaluating this input and will incorporate it into the plan. The DNR also will host a public meeting this fall (date and time to be announced), providing opportunities for people to review and provide comments. 

About the park

Situated in northwestern Oakland County, the park boasts several lakes totaling more than 230 acres offering opportunities for hunting, fishing, paddling and swimming. The park includes a modern campground, two boating access sites and trails for hiking and mountain biking. The park’s day-use area offers picnic tables and grills, picnic shelters and modern restrooms. The 1,434-acre park also protects wildlife habitat including the federally threatened eastern massasauga rattlesnake.
