Hocking Hills is a town in southeastern Ohio that offers a variety of natural attractions for visitors to enjoy. Hocking Hills is part of the Allegheny Plateau, a region that was shaped by glaciers and erosion over millions of years. The result is a landscape that features stunning cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls that create a scenic backdrop for outdoor activities.
One of the most popular destinations in Hocking Hills is Hocking Hills State Park, which covers more than 2,300 acres of land. The park has six major areas: Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Cantwell Cliffs, Rock House, and Conkle's Hollow. Each area has its own unique features and trails that lead to spectacular views and formations. For example, Old Man's Cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s and has a recess cave with a waterfall that drops 50 feet into a pool. Ash Cave is the largest recess cave in Ohio and has an impressive horseshoe-shaped rim that spans 700 feet. Cedar Falls is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Ohio and has a cascade of 50 feet over Black Hand sandstone]. Cantwell Cliffs is known for its narrow passageways and steep cliffs that challenge hikers. Rock House is the only true cave in the park and has seven Gothic-style windows that offer views of the valley below. Conkle's Hollow is a state nature preserve that has one of the deepest gorges in Ohio and boasts rare plants and wildlife.
Besides hiking, Hocking Hills also offers other activities for nature lovers such as zip-lining, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, camping, golfing, and more. There are also many local businesses that provide food, drink, shopping, entertainment,
