Hocking Hills State Park
Hike to ancient caves, soaring cliffs, and cascading waterfalls.
This state park turns up the volume on a hike in the hills. Wooded gorges open out into sandstone caves and caverns, where layer-cake cliffs tower overhead and waterfalls cascade into misty pools and gurgling streams. Popular hiking trails lead the way to Ash Cave, Whispering Cave, Old Man’s Cave, and Cedar Falls, while guided tours offer activities including horseback riding, kayaking, and 4WD excursions. Hocking Hills Campground has plenty of space for RVs and tents—alternatively, get back to nature at a hike-in primitive sites, or book a cozy log cabin or treehouse in the woods.
