Stony Creek Lake is a 500-acre body of water located within Stony Creek Metropark in Michigan. The lake offers calm waters ideal for novice paddlers and families. Kayaks, canoes, rowboats, and paddleboats can be rented near the Mount Vernon picnic area and at the Paddleshack near Eastwood Beach.

Paddlers can launch from the Boat Launch area or from a sandy launch at the boat rental location. An EZ Dock Canoe/Kayak Launch with accessible features is available at the Boat Launch area. A 10 mph speed limit is enforced on the lake for all watercraft.

The lake is surrounded by scenic woodlands, wetlands, and prairies, providing opportunities to view wildlife like waterfowl, turtles, fish, and deer. A 6.1-mile paved trail circles the lake, offering paddlers views of the surrounding landscape.

Fishing is popular on Stony Creek Lake, with species including bass, pike, walleye, and panfish. The state record crappie was caught here. A barrier-free fishing pier is located on the west side of the boat launch area.

Facilities for paddlers include restrooms, picnic areas, and beaches. Food is available at Eastwood Beach's food bar during the summer season. No alcohol or glass containers are permitted on the beaches.

Paddling is allowed from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with rentals available daily during this period. The last boat rental of the day is one hour before closing. All boats must be off the lake by 8 pm.

For safety, life jackets are encouraged and available to borrow at no cost from stations at Eastwood and Baypoint Beaches. There are no lifeguards on duty, so visitors swim at their own risk.
