Strouds Run State Park is an Ohio state park located primarily in Canaan Township, Athens County, Ohio, with a small part in Ames Township. It comprises 2,606 acres (1,055 ha), and includes Dow Lake, a 161-acre (0.65 km2) artificial lake. The lake is stocked on a yearly basis with several kinds of fish. It has been stocked with rainbow trout on a yearly basis because the trout cannot survive the winters. The park is almost entirely within the Strouds Run watershed, although it does not include the entire watershed. The park is literally on the fringes of the city of Athens, Ohio, with park boundaries coinciding with city limits in several places.

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
