Places to stay, closest first

Condo complexes and rental homes are often missing from the open data we measure, so the real number near the lifts is usually higher. The mountain's own lodging pages list them.

Good to know

How many places to stay are within walking distance of the lifts at Sleepy Hollow Sports Park?

We measured 37 places to stay around Sleepy Hollow Sports Park in open map data. None has a walk to a lift we can vouch for; 26 are within 5 miles as the crow flies.

Is Sleepy Hollow Sports Park worth a summer trip?

The map shows Copper Creek Lake 1.1 miles from the main base. Lift-served biking and summer rides depend on the operator's season, so check its site for dates.

How high does Sleepy Hollow Sports Park go?

The highest point on our map is about 910 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 790 feet, a drop of about 120 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.

How do you work out the minutes?

Along a mapped walking route from each place to stay to the bottom station of the nearest chairlift, gondola or tram you can walk to, at an easy pace. Where the map has no route we give the distance as the crow flies instead of minutes. How we measure.
