Review & FAQ:
Strouds Run State Park is a 2,606-acre park located in Canaan and Ames Townships, Ohio on the outskirts of the city of Athens and at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. In the heart of the park is a 161-acre Dow Lake. This small artificial lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout, which cannot survive the Ohio winters. The park features fascinating sandstone bluffs and rock outcrops and several beaver ponds. The 40 miles of trails that meander through the park are used by hikers and mountain bikers. Ohio University uses Dow Lake for aquatic sports, making it very popular with the students, especially for kayaking and canoeing.
