Sleepy Hollow State Park

Sleepy Hollow State Park is a 2,600-acre park in Clinton County centered around Lake Ovid, which was created by damming the Little Maple River. The water body sits surrounded by woods and open fields that make up the park's landscape.

The park was established in May 1976 as a new outdoor recreation area for Michigan. Over the following years it expanded with modern camping facilities and trail networks to serve more visitors.

The park hosts community events throughout the year, connecting residents with nature through educational programs and seasonal outdoor activities in the Michigan wilderness.

The park offers 16 miles of hiking trails and 6.5 miles of horseback riding paths for outdoor activities. Visitors can also reserve specialized hunting blinds, including options with hydraulic lifts for accessibility.

The park maintains a dedicated metal detecting zone where visitors can search for items in the ground. It also provides free beach wheelchairs and mobility scooters to help all visitors access the lake.
