Sleepy Hollow State Park
Phone: (517) 651-6217
Sleepy Hollow State Park, located in Clinton County, contains more than 2,600 acres and is situated on Price Road off from US-27 near St. Johns, Ovid and Laingsburg. A river winds its way through the woods and fields of the park, and Lake Ovid is nestled in the middle of it all. Lake Ovid is a 410-acre lake developed by damming the Little Maple River. The park offers year-round opportunity for recreation.
The campground is closed for winter. Information about winter camping opportunities is available on the DNR web site.
More than 228 species have been recorded in Sleepy Hollow, from the common Blue Jay to the Eastern Bluebird. During migration, look for waterfowl in Lake Ovid. The rarely recorded Bonaparte's Gull or Bald Eagle also have been sighted.
Directions
Take US-27 (just N. of I-69) to the Price Road exit. Price Road E. (turn right) about 5.5 miles. Park entrance on left (N.) side of road.
