Popular Things to Do in Sunbury

Though small, the village of Sunbury has plenty of things to do, from outdoor activities to inside enjoyments. Here are some of the area's most popular local experiences. 

Explore Alum Creek or the Hoover Reservoir Nearby

Sunbury is just 5 minutes away from the Hoover Reservoir in nearby Galena, Ohio or 15 minutes to Alum Creek State Park in nearby Lewis Center, popular destinations for camping, hiking, or swimming, boating, or fishing.  

But if you don't want to travel that far to go fishing, you can venture to the heart of Sunbury to the town's reservoirs at the corner of Sedgwick Avenue and Otis Street. 

Visit the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial

Honoring Ohio armed service members who have fallen during the War on Terrorism since 2001, the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial was established in 2005 by local veterans. The memorial is located in Sunbury, on West Cherry Street, due to the area's centralized location in Ohio.
