RECREATION — WE’VE GOT THAT, TOO!<br />
Orion Township is home to 42 lakes and<br />
nearly 70 miles of pathways and trail ways.<br />
Our esteemed section of the Paint Creek<br />
Trail is part of Michigan’s statewide “Iron-<br />
Belle” trail linking both peninsulas. If the<br />
links are calling your name, then look no<br />
further. We have three premier golf courses<br />
including Indianwood Country Club, which<br />
hosted the 2012 U.S. Senior Open.<br />
Combining 10 recreational parks, we offer<br />
more than 4,200 acres of recreational<br />
relaxation and unparalleled beauty. Our<br />
newly purchased, 143-acre Camp Agawam<br />
offers camping, boating, hiking and a step<br />
back into childhood. Orion Oaks County Park<br />
spans nearly 1,000 acres and is home to<br />
Southeastern Michigan’s largest dog park,<br />
covering 24 acres of fenced-in fun for Fido.<br />
The dog park features hiking trails, wash<br />
stations, covered tents and private lake<br />
access for a canine cool-down!<br />
