Strouds Ridge Preserve
Property acquisitions
One of the acquisitions was subsequently dedicated as the Dale and Jackie Riddle State Nature Preserve, and is otherwise known as Hawk Woods, an 85-acre (340,000 m) old-growth forest. One of the tracts, the Della Drive Tract, was acquired by Athens County, not the city. Also nearby are the 75-acre (300,000 m)-acre Blair Preserve, the 49-acre (200,000 m)-acre Tucker Run Preserve, the 283-acre (1,150,000 m)-acre Mary Beth Zak Lohse Preserve, the 441-acre (1,780,000 m)-acre Canaan Preserve and the 269-acre (1,090,000 m)-acre Baker Preserve of the Athens Conservancy.
Trails
The trail system is known as the Athens Trail system, and connects with the trails at the state park. The trail system centers around the Athens Trail, currently 3.2 miles (5.1 km) but slated to be a full-loop trail around the City of Athens, and the Rockhouse Trail, a 2.7-mile (4.3 km) scenic trail.
