Stoney Lake Information Oxford Michigan

Let's talk about this great little lake in Oxford.  Stoney Lake is located just a little north and west of downtown Oxford.  It is a public all sports lake that is about 67 acres in size.  There are no wake restrictions on the lake that I know of.  Stoney Lake in Oxford is not a shallow lake.  It is about 44 feet deep in the deepest spot.  The lake is spring fed.

There is public access through Oxford's Stoney Lake Park on the northeast side right off M-24.  There are plenty of parking spots and a boat launch for day use.  No docks to keep boats overnight.  The park also has a small public beach too.  There are no marinas on the lake.  

The lake lies entirely in Oxford Township and is only a short drive to downtown Lake Orion or downtown Oxford.  The children on the lake get to go to the award winning Oxford schools.  There are no canals on the lake.  It is an eliptical shaped lake.  There is no ski course on the lake that boaters would using early in the morning.   

Here is a quick map of the lake.  There is a lake map on the DNR Oakland County lake map page.

Stoney Lake homes for sale in Oxford MI

Stoney Lake homes are on well and septic.  They were built from the 1920's to the current time.  One was built in 2012.  Like the ages of the homes, the styles of lakefront homes on Stoney Lake vary widely too.  There are small cottages on the lake that are small as 500 square feet.  Then there is a 3500 square foot brick colonial on the lake too.  There are homes of every size on the lake.  Some of the lake homes have no garages.

The lake lots are not huge, but there are a couple of lots that are good sized.  6 homes sit down a hillside where you park up on the hill on the road and have to walk down stairs to get to your home.  Many of the homes sit above the lake on the hillside.  I always say that lake homes that sit above lake level where windows are 10 -16 foot + above the lake give amazing lake views.  There are only about 22 homes on the lake.

The roads are paved on the south side and one road on the north side is gravel  There are condominiums on the south side of the lake.  I have not seen docks on that side of the lake.  I am sure some of the condo residents kayak, or paddle board around the lake.

Could you use the $4000 to buy furniture for the new house, or could you take an $8000 vacation.  Give me a call and keep the money in YOUR POCKET instead of giving it to some realtor.

Stoney Lake Oakland County MI 

This is a lake that doesn't have heavy boat traffic.  Yes it does have public access but it is not that big of a lake to draw a lot of speed boats.  I would say that people that put their boats in are more likely to be fishermen. 

So what is my opinion of the lake?  I think it is a nice lake for relaxing.  Would I say it is a big enough lake for an active water sports enthusiasts?  No I don't think it is big enough for anybody that wants to do a lot of waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, or surfing.  You would be going around in small circles.  I think it is a lake for swimming, fishing, boating, and occasional water sports.  Though the lake is never going to be so busy that you can't water ski or tube on it.  

There is a nice park on the lake called Stoney Lake Park.  This 13-acre park has a beach, three picnic pavilions, a gazebo, public restrooms, boat launch, playground and picnic areas with tables and grills. Ice fishing and ice skating are permitted on Stoney Lake.   According to a diving website the maximum depth is 61-70ft, but the state DNR maps are saying Stone .

Stoney Lake is probably the calmest All-Sports lake you will find. It is a small, private lake located in north Oakland County, accessible to residents of the lake and the general public through Stoney Lake Park. The beach and park area is now open to the general public.

Oxford Township

Oxford sits on a huge gravel vein left by the glaciers. Mining began in 1911 and by the 1950's there were five companies mining here. Oxford became known as 'The Gravel Capital of the World', shipping 5 million tons of gravel a year.  Many of the lakes near Oxford are old gravel pits.

The lake does sit close to M-24 so the condos on the lake close to the road will have some road noise.  I noticed it at the community park but I don't know if the homes close to the park hear the same noise.
