Lake Ovid is a reservoir located within Sleepy Hollow State Park, Michigan, created in the 1970s with the construction of a dam on the Little Maple River.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been monitoring the fish population annually and has determined that the smaller species of panfish have been reproducing prolifically and future stocking is going to focus on Muskellunge and Catfish.
A boat landing is available at no charge to anyone with a Michigan State park sticker on their vehicle and is located on the west side of the lake.
A "no wake" policy is enforced on the lake in order to maintain a peaceful fishing and boating environment.
Many anglers choose to propel their vessels using electric trolling motors which allow for stealthy approaches to fishing locations and wildlife viewing.
