Explore the hills, gulches, caves, wildlife and exhilaration of the Hocking region with adventures suited for every type of explorer. There’s a whole natural world to discover and so many ways to experience the area — by land, water and sky.
Explore vistas from towering cliffs and navigate a series of trails for all skill levels, including the partially wheelchair-accessible gorge trail at Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve in Rockbridge. Up for a challenge?
Whispering Cave Trail in Hocking Hills State Park includes a swinging hemlock bridge and 4.5 miles of winding paths that take you to the second largest cave in the region and a 105-foot waterfall.
At Hocking State Forest, 42 miles and three trails showcase a variety of native plant species and wildlife. Ready to rock climb? Just east of Conkles Hollow is a rock and cliff face reserved for scaling and repelling. Ohio’s second largest forest is Zaleski State Forest in Zaleski, which also operates a sawmill. Check out the historic Moonville Tunnel or go long with the 29-mile Selinde Rosenburg Memorial backpacking trail.
From trail riding to custom horse adventures, Equestrian Ridge Farm in New Plymouth offers a range of tours for all ages, including pony riding introductions for children and scenic rides through meadows and hillsides.
At Hocking Hills Horse Rides in South Bloomingville, take a rewarding trail ride to destinations like Crystal Falls, Red Rock and Box Canyon.

Brought your own noble steed? Get a little help navigating the hills on a guided tour with The Vacation Vaquera
With 22 miles of rail trail to explore, the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway that winds through the region has trail-end points in Nelsonville and Athens. Lake Hope State Park in McArthur offers eight mountain biking trails, from moderate to difficult, and it’s considered one of the state’s top single-track mountain biking trail systems, totaling 25-plus miles. The 58-mile (and counting) Baileys Trail System in Wayne National Forest seasonally welcomes mountain bikers of any skill level. Ride through lush restored forest and past historic landmarks like abandoned mines. Keep your eye out for butterflies, wildlife, birds and other creatures that call the Hills home. The Hocking Hills Butterfly Trail in Logan has 14 stops highlighting different sets of butterfly wings, where you can learn about their habitat and food source. Spot other creatures including turtles, raccoons, deer and turkeys at Lake Logan State Park
Canoe or kayak your way along the Hocking River at Hocking Hills Adventures in Logan — or take up river tubing. River tours range in distance and difficulty, starting with a 5-mile Crockett’s River Run Trip on a slower stretch. Nelsonville’s Adventure Pro River Trips explore the river in Wayne National Forest in a canoe, kayak or tube.
If you’d rather power up on the water, rent a pontoon at Lake Logan Marina, or drop a line in this no-wake lake. Strouds Run State Park permits boats with less than 10 horsepower on Dow Lake, and there is a launch ramp at the northeastern edge. You can rent pontoons, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats at the boathouse in spring, summer and fall.
With 500 feet of beach and close-by camping grounds, Tar Hollow State Park’s Pine Lake in Laurelville permits swimming in designated areas. Lake Hope State Park in McArthur offers an expansive swimming beach with a beach house, sun deck, patio and concessions.
It’s known as Fisherman’s Lake and stocked with trout in the spring — cast a line at Rose Lake in the Hocking Hills Reservoir and you’re likely to score a catch. In Rockbridge, Clear Creek Metro Park offers fishing along 5-acre Lake Ramona and from the dams at Lake Emily.
Zip line over Hocking Hill’s forests, caves, gorges and hillsides at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours in Rockbridge. Challenge yourself to the three-hour X-Tour, an extreme guided adventure with 11 zip lines — you’ll glide into a hidden, recessed cave and across the Hocking River.
At Valley Zipline Tours near Lancaster, there are nine zip lines and 5,000 feet of sky-high “line” to experience the area’s dramatic scenery.
High Rock Adventures in Rockbridge offers a range of climbing challenges or rock and cliff rappel from 35- to 75-feet drops. Rappels include flat wall, canyon and a leaning rock. No experience is necessary and gear is provided. Get a masterclass not only in rappelling or rock climbing, but also in the local environment when you book a private tour with Hocking Hills Adventure Trek. You’ll get off the beaten path in the expansive Hocking State Forest with an experienced guide.
Hocking Hills Scenic Air Tours takes off from New Plymouth in a fixed-wing aircraft to take in views you just can’t experience on the trails. It’s a whole new way to go leaf peeping and a relaxing “climb” if scaling rock walls isn’t your thing.
Walk on water with the help of a Marvel-style jet pack that elevates you up to 30 feet over a private lake. Jet Pack Water Adventures in Lancaster says it takes no more than six minutes of training to learn — you’ll strap into a five-point harness securing you to a jet pack that shoots out streams of water, boosting you sky high so you can steer your way around (and over) the lake.

Visitors come to Hocking Hills to immerse themselves in some of the most stunning natural beauty that Ohio has to offer, but the region’s trails, cliffs, trees, gorges and waterways have more to share than just a destination for outdoor recreation. When you experience the region, you also connect with days gone by and the evolution of the Hills, from early settlers to the visitors of today.
“There are so many different historical stories to be told of the
Hocking Hills region,” says Cindy Coss, Stewardship Coordinator for Hocking Hills Tourism Association. “Most people have no clue how long people have been coming to the Hocking Hills as a recreation destination.” Visitors have enjoyed hiking, canoeing and horseback riding in Hocking Hills since the early 1800s, but its history goes back long before visitors started using it recreationally.
“Many years ago, before settlers made their way to this area, the Native Americans used it. This is how Ash Cave
was named, due to the pile of ashes found in the cave,” says Coss. “There are still symbols etched on the rocks in Ash Cave that denote the location of several Native Americans that were buried there.” These early Native American inhabitants lived off the land and created footpaths, including one leading to Marietta where they traveled for trading posts that most visitors recognize now as State Route 56.
Rock House is a favorite stop for visitors because of its decorative geological formations in the 200-foot-
long cave. While voice echoes are fun to experience in the cave today, it once served more practical purposes. Native Americans used Rock House for baking ovens due to its natural ventilation system. Later on in the 1800s, it was the perfect hideout for robbers running from the law.
“Rock House took on the name Robbers Roost for the thieves of the time who would use it as a hideout. Rock House was also the site of the only on-record report of a man killed by a black bear in Hocking County,” shares Coss.
While the designated nature trails throughout Hocking Hills are maintained for visitors to enjoy, they too had rustic beginnings. The Civilian Conservation Corps, a work program established to address high unemployment rates in the 1930s, is responsible for many of the features and operations in the park today.
“The boys of Camp Hocking and Camp Logan cut out our trails, tunnels and bridges; planted thousands of trees (many of which stand today); fought forest fires; helped in flood emergencies and built the parks up to what they are today,” says Coss.
Other significant gems in the area are the remnants of the Hocking Canal that operated as a section of the Ohio and Erie Canal extending from the town of Carroll in Fairfield County to Athens, Ohio. You can take a self-guided tour along the Hocking Canal Trail that features old buildings and canal locks from when it operated between 1839 to 1890. Pick up a Hocking Canal History tour map at the Hocking County Historical and Genealogical Society and Museum in Logan or look for the displayed trail maps on kiosks at Old Town Park and Haydenville Park off of U.S. Route 33.
surrounded by towering trees. After about a quarter-mile, the path ends at the majestic 700-foot-wide sandstone cave with a gentle waterfall trickling over the rocks. There’s a bench near the cave, perfect for stopping to rest and reflect. The trail entrance offers
Hiking isn’t the only option. Hocking Hills Mini-Golf is open year-round for friendly competition. The course is wheelchair accessible. Enjoy the peaceful water at Lake Logan Marina — rent a pontoon boat, pedal boat, single or double kayak, or challenge your balance on a paddle board. All ages will find joy in uncovering something beautiful at Hocking Hills Gem Mine Butterfly Ridge Butterfly Conservation Center is a haven for pollinators and visitors alike. Explore the prairie and forest on the one-mile trail. The trail is not paved and may not be accessible to hikers using mobility aids, but the staff offer free rides on their four-seat, all-terrain vehicle. Looking for the perfect place to rest your head? The brand-new Hocking Hills State Park Lodge offers beautiful rooms, some with patios and balconies. Two pools and an all-season hot tub are perfect for unwinding after a day on the trails.

When you think of Hocking Hills, natural beauty is the first thing that comes to mind — but if you know where to look, you’ll find supernatural sightings amongst the trees. Settle in by the fireside for these ghostly tales from Jannette and Pat Quackenbush, seasoned naturalists, folklorists and authors of the unknown.
In the 1800s, two boys exploring the gorge and cave now known as Old Man’s Cave witnessed a mysterious old man wearing buckskin clothing and moccasins with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a white wolfhound at his side. The man disappeared at the far end of the cave, and when the two boys returned later with local townspeople, the group discovered the bones of a trapper and his wolfhound buried together where they’d disappeared. While the gravesite of the man and his dog have since been moved, visitors to the site still report the two wandering the area, as well as the sound of otherworldly, baying hounds.
While driving to or from Ash Cave, make sure to keep an eye on the roadways — and not just for safety. You might spy the Ghost Car of State Route 56. The story dates back to a neighbor dispute in the 1950s, when a man shot his neighbor, immediately regretted it, then attempted
to race the injured man to a hospital. When the neighbor passed away en route, the driver dumped his body in the Ash Cave area and sped off, thus resulting in the site’s haunting. Multiple law enforcement officers have reported passing a car driving very slowly in the opposite direction, and when they turn around to help, the car is nowhere to be found.
Ash Cave is home to another famed Hocking Hills specter. The Pale Lady is said to wander the area in 1920s attire. While the ghost’s exact origins are unknown, it seems that she likes some occasional company — she’s been known to peep out from behind trees and follow behind hikers as they walk. Pat has even had a personal experience with the Pale Lady. While leading a night hike as a park naturalist, he noted an extra person standing in the back of his group. She was barefoot despite the chilly November evening and tilted her head to one side while intently listening as Pat spoke to the group about a 300-plus-year-old beech tree. Finally, Pat called out to the group, “Does everybody else see this?” As the group turned around,
the Pale Lady took three steps into the woods and disappeared.
Curious about cryptids? Bigfoot — or Grassman, as he’s known locally — has been sighted between Ash Cave and Cedar Falls. According to Jannette, if you smell an odor resembling rotten eggs or spoiled cabbage, you should keep an eye out for a large creature covered in moss and slime. Sightings are most likely in fall and winter when things quiet down in the Hills. If you’re looking to celebrate all things Bigfoot, check out the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival in August to play Squatch ’N‘ Seek and enjoy presentations, live music and Bigfoot-themed goods from vendors. For more in-depth accounts of haunted highlights in the region, read Haunted Hocking: A Ghost Hunter’s Guide to the Hocking Hills and Beyond by Jannette and Pat Quackenbush and Little Book of Ghosts and Monsters in the Hocking Hills by Jannette Quackenbush.

Head to Wormburner Park Golf Course for the latest sport to hit to the United States. Park Golf, popular in Japan, has hit Ohio. “Park Golf is easy to pick up and play and hard to master,” says course manager Hobie Shaw. Only the second of its kind in the U.S., this 18-hole course is a landscape of fairways and greens. Grab a flat-faced club and a resin ball to start from the teeing ground.
For a round of classic golf, Hocking Hills Golf Club has a par-71 course of tree-lined
fairways. Each of the 18 holes incorporates the natural beauty of the Hocking Hills landscape. Recently renovated golf cart pathways wind through the hills and valleys of the Appalachian foothills. After a game, browse the Pro Shop and enjoy a bite and drink at The Urban Grille.
You only need a disc to take on a disc golf course for free. Stop in Hocking Hills Disc Golf in Lancaster or Rockbridge to pick up the latest design, then head to the 18-hole course at Hocking College, the two
nine-hole courses at Logan High School or the course at Hocking Hills State Park Lodge. Courses traverse woods and grassy areas, skirting around buildings and parking lots in a winning combo of exercise, nature and testing your skills.
“Keep your wrist flat and straight, rear back and slap it out,” recommends Anna Richardson, professional disc golfer and co-owner of Hocking Hills Disc Golf.
At Adventure Golf at Rempel’s Grove, hone your aim and putting skills while

entertaining the entire family. The 18-hole course takes players through a cave, to a waterfall and along a flower-edged stream. Celebrate a game well-played at Treehouse Treats and Treasures and Ruby’s Petting Zoo. For more putting pleasure, Hocking Hills Mini-Golf at Hocking Hills Market is a wheelchair-friendly course open year-round, weather permitting.

you’ll find small
towns nestled quietly between the trails and scenic byways. Laurelville and South Bloomingville’s charming communities provide peaceful respites to escape from the everyday.
Looking to discover your creative side? Head to Jack Pine Studio and watch Jack Pine himself create hand-spun glass creations in a demonstration or participate in a glass-blowing class. Time your trip right to experience the popular Glass Pumpkin Festival in September, where you can “pick” your own glass pumpkin straight from the patch!
From camels to rabbits and goats to raccoons, Muddy Boots Farm is home to a variety of adorable farm animals the entire family can pet and feed. Channel your inner cowboy at Spotted Horse Ranch, which gets its name from the resident Appaloosa horses you can ride. Opt for an hour or two of trail riding, or schedule a Cowboy Cookout to enjoy a fresh-cooked meal of pork chops, jalapeno poppers and grilled corn on the cob during your ride, with vegetarian options available.
Freshness is always guaranteed at Laurelville Fruit Farm, a third-generation orchard established in 1912 known for its apples, peaches, cherries and plums. While you’re there, enjoy fresh apple cider or an apple cider slushie and shop a variety of local honeys and jams. For a taste of home and comfort food, visit the Ridge Inn Restaurant. Savor local favorites like meatloaf and bourbon chicken or dishes featuring produce grown by the owners. Stop by on the weekend for a homemade donut fried with love. Mam’s Rusted Skillet is another of Laurelville’s gems. Try the Squatch Burger, made with locally sourced beef, or one of the Sunday specials paired with a beer or wine from their extensive selection.
Explore the region’s most popular outdoor oases, including two natural caves. In the southernmost part of the region, Ash Cave is the largest recess cave in the state. The horseshoe-shaped cave is 700 feet from one end to the other, and the trails leading to the cave are wheelchair accessible. It’s no wonder that Old Man’s Cave is the most sought-out trail in Hocking Hills — the canyon-like natural sandstone gorge is unlike anything else. Hike along the Grandma Gatewood Trail, which connects Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls and Ash Cave. The 6-mile, one-way trail is part of the Buckeye Trail and connects to two national trails: the North Country Scenic Trail and America’s Discovery Trail.
After working up an appetite on the trails, fuel up at JimBo’s Burgers & Beer Located near Old Man’s Cave and Ash Cave, JimBo’s is widely known for burgers but also serves up appetizers, subs and pizzas best enjoyed with a cold beer to drink.
About a mile from Old Man’s Cave, you’ll find Grandma Faye’s Grocery in nearby Logan. Stop for ice cream or fudge (seasonally); pick up a snack or two at the grocery store and deli or wander through the gift shop, where you’ll find everything from candles and T-shirts to baskets and leather goods. Nearby, John Glenn Astronomy Park is an awe-inspiring place to end your day. Sign up for a program to see cosmic sites with other space gazers Friday and Saturday nights March through November, or bring telescopes, cameras and chairs for individual stargazing on the grounds any time of year.
The new Hocking Hills Children’s Museum is an interactive wonderland for kids and kids-at-heart.
By Wendy Pramik
Logan’s newest play space is the Hocking Hills Children’s Museum, an exciting indoor retreat for kids in one of Ohio’s top outdoor havens. The museum, which opened in December at 78 W. Main St. in Logan, is packed with engaging activities and opportunities for hands-on education.
The idea for the museum first came to Logan preschool teacher Kristen Stimmel while pursuing a master’s degree in education. While in St. Louis, she’d taken an interest in several of the city’s interactive children’s museums and soon began envisioning a fun space for children’s exploration and learning in her own hometown.
Stimmel enlisted the help of two other preschool teachers, Rachel Kallimanis and Georgia Johnson, to build something similar in Logan. With their passions ignited, the educators embarked on a journey to create a space where children could embrace the magic of learning through play. They immersed themselves in books about children’s museums and rallied the community to bring their vision to life.
Activities at the museum, such as splashing in a cave’s waterfall, searching for toys in the dig pit or exploring a miniature downtown Logan, promise endless fun and sensory exploration to Hocking Hills area visitors. The museum is primed to be the perfect complement to a cabin stay or a day spent exploring the Hills.
Kallimanis, the museum’s executive director, says it’s a year-round wonderland where kids and families can learn, have fun and get delightfully messy. Read on for a few of the highlights.
Children can build magnetic paths and set balls in motion.
Kids can experiment with circuits to create working fans and light-up bulbs, fostering an understanding of electricity.
This playground of rubber granules lets kids dig for hidden treasures like trucks and pipes.
Encouraging hands-on water play, this feature includes a waterfall and attached cave with a Lite-Brite-inspired game using colorful, translucent pegs.
As part of the water table, kids can experiment with water flow, cast fishing poles, catch creek creatures and send mini canoes down a stream.
A space where kids can let their creativity run wild, making prints using found objects like leaves pressed into clay.
A scaled-down version of downtown Logan where children can pretend to be mechanics, ice-cream scoopers, nurses, doctors and more.
Kids can step into the limelight, don dress-up props and even take part in special programming like naturalist talks.
A dedicated space for infants with padded boundaries.
A whimsical contraption that sends scarves in colorful motion through clear plastic tubes.
Pencil in a visit to the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum in Logan, next to the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center. Marvel at 3,479 unique sharpeners, a must-see for I-Spy enthusiasts. Wonder why pencils ever went out of style, with sharpeners in shapes like a Hershey’s chocolate bar and the Millennium Falcon. Pet pigs, hug donkeys, laugh at silly goats and feed friendly farm animals at Fox’s High Rock Farm in Logan. Don’t miss gem mining for precious stones, fossils and shark teeth.
Embark on a rural adventure at Muddy Boots Farm in Laurelville. Interact with a diverse range of animals, from cows to camels and even raccoons and skunks. There’s also a rentable shelter house for group visits.
All aboard for a rolling adventure at Hocking Valley Scenic Railway in Nelsonville. Select from unique excursions including a Santa Train, a New Year’s Eve ride with midnight fireworks and a Halloweenthemed outing.

1. Plan ahead and prepare. Check the weather forecast and research the supplies you’ll need. Familiarize yourself with the land and be prepared to leave no trace of your visit.
2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces. Stay on the trail — this is for your protection and nature’s.
3. Dispose of waste properly. Would you leave your garbage on a friend’s yard? Of course not, so don’t litter in your old friend nature’s yard.
4. Leave what you find. Would you help yourself to your friend’s possessions? Of course not, so leave the stones, trees, plants and artifacts there for the next visitor to appreciate. Don’t carve your initials into trees or stack stones, instead preserve the memory with a picture.
5. Minimize campfire impacts. There’s no need for bonfires; keep it small and easily manageable. Buy your wood where you burn it or consider using a small camp stove.
6. Respect wildlife. Let’s face it, no one wants to be the guy in the viral video getting chased by a bear. Leave wildlife alone.
7. Be considerate of other visitors. You may love falling asleep to Van Halen blasting from your iPhone, but families and solo travelers may not. Behave as you would in any sacred space and be kind to others enjoying the outdoors.

2. This isn’t your backyard, so be thoughtful and pick up your pup’s poop.
3. Dogs are welcome on statepark trails, but they aren’t allowed in the nature preserves.
