Orion Township is a vibrant charter township in northern Oakland County, widely known by its inviting motto, “Where living is a vacation”. This scenic community is defined by its abundance of natural beauty, boasting over 4,200 acres of parks and open spaces, including 42 lakes larger than five acres, with Lake Orion being the most prominent. It strikes a balance between a recreational resort atmosphere and a thriving suburban community, offering residents extensive trail systems like the Polly Ann and Paint Creek trails while maintaining easy access to the Metro Detroit commercial corridors along M-24 (Lapeer Road).
The township’s main artery is M-24 (Lapeer Road), connecting residents north to Lapeer and south to I-75. Public transit is primarily served by the North Oakland Transportation Authority (NOTA), which provides demand-response service for seniors, the disabled, and low-income residents. Regional fixed-route bus service via SMART is limited in this northern sector of the county.
While there is no major inpatient hospital within the township limits, residents are well-served by nearby top-tier facilities including Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Troy and Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital. Locally, urgent care and outpatient services are available at facilities like the McLaren Oakland Lake Orion campus and Orion Oxford Urgent Care.
Nature is central to the township’s identity, highlighted by the massive Orion Oaks County Park, famous for its 24-acre dog park and extensive hiking trails. Other key green spaces include Friendship Park for active sports and the waterfront Green’s Park on Lake Orion. The township is a trail town, serving as a convergence point for the Polly Ann Trail and the Paint Creek Trail.
The Orion Township Parks & Recreation Department manages a robust calendar of activities, from swim lessons to league sports. The Orion Center serves as a multi-generational community hub, offering exercise rooms, senior enrichment programs, and rental venues. Water sports are a major pastime, with public boat launches and beaches facilitating summer fun on the numerous inland lakes.
