| State Park Overview: |
 | 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.
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. |

We will return!
Loved the secluded sites with lots of trees, shade and privacy. Plenty of walking trails. We were warned to watch out for poison ivy so that would be a concern if you have small children. No soap in bathrooms! Definitely need long electric cord!
