Land OwnerState of Ohio
Sundown is a 6 mile single track adventure along the northwest side of Dow Lake. It is not a loop, and can either be ridden out and back, or combined with Hickory trail, and Strouds Run Trail West, and Strouds Run Trail East to form a loop. Riding both directions grants users challenging rocky / rooty climbs, and fun flowy descents. This trail can get quite brushy in the summer but the Athens Bicycle Club is working hard to keep it clear

Strouds Run State Park Spring 2025 Trip C.O.P.S.
JMiller1884
The trail is nearly impossible to ride due to falling trees and no maintenance to the trails. Has potential to be an awesome track with very steep hills and technical areas. At this time, it’s basically not rideable.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
