Island Lake State Recreation Area is a state-run park in Green Oak Township, Livingston County, within the Metro Detroit area in Michigan. The 4,000-acre (1,600 ha) park lies on the Huron River and Kent Lake, an impoundment of the river, immediately downstream of Kensington Metropark with which it is connected by a bike trail. It is the third busiest park operated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with visitation of 1.09 million in 2008. The park lies near the intersection of I-96 and US-23. It has a group campsite and a canoe-in campsite, several miles of hiking and biking trails, a shooting range, swimming and several small lakes. It is the only Michigan park to have a hot air balloon launch area.
