Hocking Hills State Park

19852 State Route 664 South Logan, OH 43138-9537
The natural history of this region is as fascinating as the caves are beautiful • Here, in these sandstones and shales, one can read Ohio's history from the rocks • The scenic features of the six areas of the Hocking Hills State Park complex are carved in the Blackhand sandstone • This bedrock was deposited more than 350 million years ago as a delta in the warm shallow sea which covered Ohio at that time • Subsequent millions of years of uplift and stream erosion created the awesome beauty seen today

You absolutely must drive through here all the way on Route 374. This scenic byway is the most beautiful drive in all of Ohio.

There aren't a lot of water fountains. Make sure you have lots of water with you.

Hiking - OH

Teaming up state parks with neighboring nature preserves makes for great hiking. Stroll though the best of both at John Bryan and Clifton Gorge Preserve, Caesar Creek and Caesar Creek Gorge Preserve, Hocking Hills and Conkles Hollow Nature Preserve, and Mohican and Clear Fork Gorge Preserve.

Mountain Biking - OH

Already famous for its scenery, Hocking Hills delivers fresh thrills with a new four-mile mountain bike trail featuring a moderate loop and a challenging loop for cyclists who appreciate great views and a great ride. Hueston Woods’ 12-mile network of classic mountain bike trails has expanded with a new 1.5-mile loop that winds through gorgeous forest studded with wildflowers and interesting interpretive signs for nature loving cyclists. Bike rentals at the trailhead are a convenient plus.

Fabulous place. I was born and raised in Central Ohio and spent many days hiking around HH. Never got tired of it and I'm waiting to go back and show my wife how beautiful it is.
