Introduction:
located just north of Rochester in Shelby Township, Stony creek Metropark offers a wide range of activities. Including cycling, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, and golf. The park offers miles of well maintained paved path. The main path which circles the lake is about 7 miles long with gentle rolling hills and flat sections. The path even extends outside of the park and is planned to one day connect to Metro Parkway bike path. There is a small entrance fee or you can buy an annual pass which is good all year. The park is also host to several events during the year, including the Xterra triathalon, and an assortment of bike races.

NOTE: Please be aware of your surroundings, the paved trail crosses the road in several places.

Season
All year long, but note the hours of operation when entering the park. The summer is great, being near the lake helps keep temps between high 70's & 80's. Wear bright breathable clothing, bring water, and any food or supplies you might need and as Dr. Lisa always says "Wear Sunscreen".

Directions

Amenities:
The park has running water and bathroom facilities from spring to late fall. During the winter the park closes the bathrooms and water faucet, so be prepared before you get in. There is the occasional vending machine available, and plenty of parking.

Considerations:
There are a large number of enthusiast using these paved paths, from joggers, walker, bikers, inline skaters. All these groups need to be considerate to the other, these paths are designed with "Multi-use" in mind. Remember to keep you speed in check, don't spook other trail users or wildlife, and pay attention to your surroundings. Especially with when crossing roads and parking lots. As enthusiasts we should all share the burden and use the paths sensibly. Stay in control, and on the beaten path (avoid short cuts), do not to destroy any vegetation, and always throw trash in the garbage cans.
