Sleepy Hollow State Park

Those who identify as being outdoorsy all year ‘round and those who hibernate until the warm ‘n’ sunny seasons alike will find the respite they desire at Sleepy Hollow State Park. Whispering woods, tranquil fields, and welcoming trails together make the 2,600 acres of this beautiful park, which it charmingly hosts a river running right through it, and the 410-acre Lake Ovid, too. Conveniently located just 20 miles from Lansing and accessed by US-27, Sleepy Hollow is a leisurely escape that plays innkeeper to over 228 species of wildlife ranging from common jays to the occasional bald eagle. It’s also an excellent destination for snowshoeing and other winter activities, making it an indispensable natural locale for those dedicated nature-lovers we mentioned above who might wish to flee it all on any given day of the year.
