Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Sleepy Hollow State Park adventure.
Discover Sleepy Hollow State Park's lush trails and serene camping spots.
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.
The ideal time to visit Sleepy Hollow State Park is during the warm embrace of summer, from June to August, when the park is in full bloom and the lake's waters invite you for a swim. Conversely, winter months can be quite harsh, with snow blanketing the trails and limiting access to the park's full splendor.
