“cut deep into the Appalachian foothills”

Incredibly popular for kayaking and canoeing, Strouds Run State Park’s Dow Lake is cut deep into the Appalachian foothills. The steep ravines surrounding the lake make for an incredible time on the water. The beach is open in the spring and summer months for swimming, and canoe and boat rentals are available. Strouds Run offers campers a family camp area with sites for tents or trailers with a 150-person capacity. Latrines, waste drains, picnic tables and fire rings are provided. Ten sites are available for campers with pets. A group camp area is available for organized groups on a reservation basis. Three Rent-A-Camp sites consisting of a dining fly, sleeping cots and pads, cookstove and other gear are available by reservation. Two Camper Cabins are also available.

Great place to go and relax. Great for kayaking. I went to the park twice and the Ohio University crew team was practicing and got some amazing photos.

We stopped here for one night in our 35’ motorhome and the road my GPS wanted us to take (Dutch Creek) was a NO so we drove further down 690 to East Scatter Ridge and came in that way. The campground has about 70 sites with drinking water spigots about every 100 yards on the even-numbered side of the road. Most sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. There is also a dump station by the campground entrance (which is on the opposite side of Stroud’s Run Road from the beach/boat ramp). The campground is nice and very quiet but the 8+ mile road in was very winding and very narrow - no shoulder - wouldn’t do that again. We came on the first Sunday in July and there were 3 other sites occupied. There are pit toilets which we didn’t use. All sites are back-in.
