Overview

A brief introduction to Bald Mountain Recreation Area

Bald Mountain State Recreation Area is a 4,637-acre (1,877 ha) state park located near Lake Orion, Michigan off M-24. It consists of some of the most rugged terrain in southeastern Michigan. The recreation area is composed of a North Unit and a South Unit, which are not contiguous. The South Unit itself includes two parts separated by M-24 (Lapeer Road), but the section west of M-24 has no recreational facilities or trails and is primarily undeveloped forest and grassy plains segmented by a few through-roads.
It is a popular recreation area for day users, hunters, and fishermen. Hunting opportunities encompass deer, rabbit, squirrel, Canada goose, woodchuck, duck, raccoon, and woodcock. Fishing options include bass, pike, panfish, and trout. Additionally, the park features a rifle and a sporting clays range.
Bald Mountain gained widespread attention when it was the location of two assisted suicides performed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian in 1991.
Bald Mountain's South Unit is adjacent to the grounds of Lake Orion High School.
Some of the land that is now part of Bald Mountain had previously been a part of the Scripps Mansion.
