This easy walk along the paved trail turned into an excellent surprise ending! The views from the paved trail are very nice and they are doing a noble job to preserve and improve the area. The best part is the short bonus walk off the pavement. We didn’t find the dirt/rock trail to be difficult to manage at all and worth the little additional effort- the recess cave and waterfall was a big highlight of our visit to the Hocking Hills area Best of all is that it was not nearly as crowded as other spots

I first visited here about nine years ago with my college aged daughter. This time, I visited with my husband. This is a truly amazing Ohio attraction. The rock formations, the forest, the trails, the caves, the water falls, they are all just mesmerizing ... and it feels like you've been transported to another space and time. There is a new visitor center that features an interesting history of the park with maps, photos and details and on how the trails were developed by the Conservation Corps back in the 1930s. We only hiked from the Upper Falls to Old Man's Cave and back to the visitor center and it took a little more than an hour. You could easily spend a half a day. And because we'd like to see the Lower Falls and the Rock House, we'll be back! It is definitely worth a visit, regardless of the time of year.

This trail and location was by far my favorite. A nice plus is that the trail is wheelchair/mobility challenged friendly. The standard return trail goes up some into the hills so those that wish for that experience can have it, while the accessible trail also remains an option. It’s a pretty trail with lots of nature, and the sandy large Ash Cave is really beautiful. If you’re going to Hocking Hills, this is my number one recommendation from the few trails we did.

We rode eight miles of this on one pleasant April morning, heading south from Nelsonville. A wonderful experience - cruising down the paved path with the Hocking River on the left and tall bluffs on the right loaded with spring flowers in bloom. Only met a few people. Would highly recommend riding this path.

Had a great hike here as well. Being out in nature and very rarely did we see other people! Going during the week is a must apparently.

Go on a clear night, of course. Take good binoculars but a telescope is preferred. Bundle up if it is cold but you will forget about the cold once you start looking at the stars. You won't want to stop looking. One of the best things Hocking Hills can offer to complete your day after hiking some of the other attractions. We plan to bring sleeping bags next time to just lay out & watch the sky. Great for seeing shooting stars.

Very short hike to falls overlook. Permit (free) required in order to hike and park. Also known as Corkscrew Falls because the way the water comes over the rocks it appears to be twirling. The trail was quite muddy on our visit. There is NO bathroom here. Actual visit in May 2019.
