General management planning for 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 planning process began in January 2025 and is now in the draft plan phase. 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.
Interactive public survey due Feb. 11
The DNR is excited to share the new draft general management plan for the park, and we want your feedback! For those that couldn't attend the Jan. 28 public input meeting to discuss the new draft general management plan for Seven Lakes State Park, you can share your thoughts via our interactive public survey, open through Feb. 11.
We appreciate the community members who participated in both the January 2026 public input meeting and June 2025 survey; your insights are vital in shaping the new plan.
