UPPER FALLS
Enjoy one of the most photographed places in Hocking Hills State Park. Along Old Man's Cave Trail, you can hear the cascading waterfalls cascading below as you walk over the stone bridge. Neither tall nor wide, this wonder is without a doubt one of Ohio's most scenic and beautiful waterfalls.
LOWER FALLS
This is another popular waterfall located along Old Mans Cave Trail, downstream from the heavily photographed Upper Falls. This majestic waterfall slides down a rock face before making an approximate 30 foot straight drop in to the creek below.
OLD MAN'S CAVE
Located within the heart of the state park, Old Man's Cave is named after one of its former residents, Richard Rowe. He became a hermit and lived out his life within the large cave recess of the gorge, with his dog, Harper.
CANTWELL CLIFFS
The Cantwell Cliffs are a beautiful treasure that stand 150 feet tall in the Hocking Hills Region. With calming forests, steep descents, and a waterfall that overflows from Buck Run flows, this is a magical place for all to visit.
ASH CAVE GORGE
Journey to the largest recess cave east of the Mississippi to experience one of the most awe-inspiring features at Hocking Hills State Park. With a horseshoe-shaped rim that spans 700 feet and a runoff waterfall, Ash Cave is a wonder to all who visit.
ROCK HOUSE
Explore a unique and colorful part of Hocking Hills' history, as well as the only true cave in the whole park. Rock House is a tunnel-like corridor situated up a 150-foot cliff of Black Hand Sandstone.
