Hocking Hills State Park
Hocking Hills provides a variety of recreational opportunities in a
splendid natural setting. Towering cliffs, waterfalls and deep
hemlock-shaded gorges lure the hiker and naturalist and serve as a backdrop
to popular facilities and accommodations.
Old
Mans Cave
The most popular of all the Hocking Hills areas is Old Man's Cave, located
on State Route 664. Here at the Upper Falls, the Grandma Gatewood Trail
begins its six-mile course connecting three of the park's areas: Old Man's
Cave to Cedar Falls to Ash Cave. This same trail has been designated as part
of Ohio's Buckeye Trail as well as part of two national systems - the North
Country Scenic Trail and America's Discovery Trail.
Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls itself is the greatest
waterfall in terms of volume in the Hocking region. Queer Creek tumbles over
the face of the Blackhand displaying the awesome force of water power.
Ash
Cave
In the southernmost reaches of Hocking Hills is Ash Cave - beyond doubt the
most spectacular feature of the entire park. Ash Cave is the largest, most
impressive recess cave in the state.
Rock
House
Rock House is unique in the Hocking Hills’ region, as it is the only true
cave in the park. It is a tunnel-like corridor situated midway up a 150-foot
cliff of Blackhand sandstone.
Tar Hollow State Park
Twisting park and forest roads pass through deep ravines and dense
woodlands. Scattered shortleaf and pitch pines growing on the ridges were
once a source of pine tar for early settlers, hence the name Tar Hollow.
Dogwoods, redbuds and a variety of wildflowers color the hillsides in the
springtime. Fall's pageant of color is spectacular.
Lake Logan
The lake has abundant populations of large mouth bass, bluegill, crappie,
northern pike and saugeye, plus channel, flathead and bullhead catfish. 400
acre lake. 530 foot beach for sunbathers and swimmers.
