Stony Point, MI

Stony Point is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Frenchtown Charter Township, Monroe County. The 2020 census counted 1,784 residents. It sits about three kilometers northeast of downtown Monroe, with the CDP laid out between Burke Road, Brest Road, and Pointe aux Peaux Road. That road-bounded shape is part of the local feel: Stony Point is close to Monroe’s services but remains a named community inside the township rather than a separate municipality. Lake Erie shoreline and the Stony Pointe Peninsula give the area its geographic character, with shoreline work and residential growth recurring in township planning.

The industrial side is hard to miss. The Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station sits just north, while Sterling State Park and the broader Lake Erie shore are nearby for swimming, boating, fishing, and day trips. Frenchtown Township handles the public framework—roads, land use, shoreline projects, and services—so local identity comes from the mix of township government, Monroe connections, lake country, and the power plant next door. Stony Point is a small place on the map, but it sits in a busy corner of Monroe County where water, industry, and suburban roads all meet.
