Hocking Hills State Park: Ohio

Cantwell Cliffs Picture



Located in the beautiful sandstone region of Southeastern Ohio, Hocking Hills State Park has some of the most scenic areas in the entire state. Rock outcrops, deep cool gorges, and waterfalls are found throughout the park areas. The beauty of the area is enhanced by the abundance of wildlife found throughout the Hocking region. Visitors to the park can almost bet they'll see Ohio wildlife such as white tailed deer, wild turkey or even the cumbersome box turtle. There are over 25 miles of trails winding through Hocking Hills State Park. Each trail is unique, offering visitors to the park breathtaking views of streams with cascading waterfalls, mysterious, dark gorges and rugged, awesome ridges. Trails lead to caves at Ash Cave and Cantwell Cliffs, through towering hemlocks at Cedar Falls and rises 200 feet above the ground along the rim of Conkle's Hollow.

These trails are beautiful and potentially dangerous. Caution and common sense are advised. Young children should be closely supervised. Find out what else Hocking Hills has to offer
