Old Man's Cave

Reviewed By MentorGrl - Concord, United States

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.

Ash Cave

Reviewed By jdenz01 - Saint Clair Shores, United States

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.

So beautiful seeing all of the wonderful nature in this area. The water level was high so the waterfalls were really nice.

John Glenn Astronomy Park

Reviewed By cincygal2016 - Cincinnati, United States

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.

Definitely take the time to go down into the gorge if you are physically able. It was worth the steep climbs down and back up. I am terribly afraid of heights, and am certainly not in the best shape, but was able to enjoy this hike.

I loved this trail! It is beautiful and has a variety of terrain. The cave is large. I had no difficulty on the trail, but could see how someone with knee or foot issues would. The views are gorgeous.
