Ski Trail is an easy loop hike in Towner's Woods, county land in Ohio, about 1.4 miles long and roughly 1,200 feet in elevation. It is a low-lying route, rising from about 1,074 feet to about 1,123 feet, with the steepest stretch around 0.7 miles in at a 6% grade. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ravenna put May highs near 71°F and September highs near 74°F, while July peaks around 85°F. The trail is closed to bikes and horses. Woodland Loop is just 0.3 miles away, and University Esplanade is about 2.3 miles off. For a change of pace, the Club Moss Trail and Black Cherry Trail both lie about 9.4 miles away.
