Lake Ovid is a reservoir located within Sleepy Hollow State Park, Michigan, created in 1974 with the construction of a dam on the Little Maple River. With an average depth of 10 feet (3.0 meters), Lake Ovid is generally fairly shallow, with depths never exceeding 23 feet (7.0 meters).
Many freshwater fish live in the lake including Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, Rock Bass, Crappie, Channel Catfish, Muskellunge (Muskie), and Northern Pike. 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.
