The park is predominantly in Washington Township, MI and Rochester/Oakland, MI, with a small portion in Shelby Township, MI. The park covers {{convert|4461|acre|km2}} with Stony Creek Lake at its center. GeographyStony Creek Lake is a man-made lake built by damming Stony Creek, a tributary of the Clinton River. Stony Creek drains 72 square miles (116 km²) of northern Oakland County and the lake formed from the dams covers {{convert|500|acre|km2}}. Stony Creek Metropark is situated on a moraine which makes for varied landscape. The park has forests, hills, prairies, as well as swamps. The park is also relatively high above sea level, 875 feet (267 m) at the park office.
