Just Hike it!
The Hocking Hills are quite possibly one of the most preferred
weekend destinations in the Midwest. With its grand display of
wilderness matched with the ability to nearly effortlessly find the
comforts of civilization in hundreds of cabins, cottages, inn
rooms and restaurants, this untamed region of Ohio cannot be
matched. It is a wonderful demonstration of elegance meets nature.The park is open all year long so you can hike
from dawn to dusk 365 days a year in the Hocking Hills. But at
Hocking Hills State Park you MUST
stay on the trails. That means no hiking along the cliff
edges and no
jumping in the
waterfalls.

3 Fun Things to do in the rain at
Hocking Hills State Park
They say April
showers bring May flowers. And it's supposed to make us feel
better about sitting inside and watching it pour after a long, cold
winter. But it doesn't seem to help when your only day off is
calling for 100% rain showers. Don't threaten the weatherman! You
can still have lots of fun in the Hocking Hills. And here's just a
few ways to get the most out of the day:
1) Grab an
umbrella and your kids and hike to Ash Cave. It's only about a 1/2
mile hike back to the recess cave and you can sit in the huge cave
shelter while the kids play in the sand.
2) Shop the
Shops-Make your first stop the Hocking Hills Flea Market on State
Route 33 between Lancaster and Logan. Then you can find loads of
little shops tucked into the hills-
Wicker Cabin Gifts and more!
Don't forget to
stop in Nelsonville, Ohio at
Rocky Boots- and get some great buys on clothing, boots and home
décor! They've got a restaurant there now too!
3) Stop in at
the Hocking Hills Welcome Center just off State Route 33 in Logan.
4) Just GET WET!
If thundershowers aren't in the forecast, put on some old clothes
and take a canoe ride down the Hocking River at
Hocking Valley Canoe Livery. |
