Start your day at Ash Cave, a stunning horseshoe-shaped gorge featuring a 700-foot cave with a stunning waterfall that cascades over the edge. In the morning, take the Ash Cave trail, which is an easy one-mile hike from the parking lot to the cave. The trail offers a scenic view of the hills and the valley. Afternoon is a great time to head towards Conkles Hollow State Park, which is known for its trails with spectacular views of the valley. In the evening, head towards Rock House, a unique rock formation that was once a hideout for bandits. The Rock House is a half-mile hike from the parking lot and offers an exciting view of the park.
Start your day early at Old Man's Cave, one of the most popular attractions in Hocking Hills. The cave gets its name from Richard Rowe, a hermit who lived in the cave in the early 1800s. The park offers several trails with bridges, waterfalls, and the Devil's bathtub. Spend the afternoon at Cedar Falls, another popular attraction in the park, famous for its stunning waterfall that cascades over a rock cliff. In the evening, head towards Cantwell Cliffs, which offers a panoramic view of the valley. The cliffs are less crowded, and the trail is moderately challenging, making it a perfect spot for an evening hike in the park.
If you have extra time, head to Lake Logan State Park, which offers kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Another exciting place to visit is the Hocking Hills Canopy Tours, where you can zipline through the forest canopy.
