Old Man's Cave
The most popular of all the Hocking areas is Old Man's Cave,
located on S.R. 664.
Here at Upper Falls, the Grandma Gatewood Trail begins its
six-mile course connecting three of the park's areas: Old Man's
Cave to Cedar Falls to Ash Cave. This same trail has been
designated as part of Ohio's Buckeye Trail as well as part of two
national systems.
Cedar Falls
If one were to venture down the Lower Gorge of Old Man's Cave,
you would eventually enter the picturesque valley of Queer Creek.
At the point where Old Man's Creek merges with Queer Creek, the trail
takes an abrupt turn east and enters this new valley. The trail leading
to Cedar Falls passes through the most austere area in Hocking Hills.
Ash Cave
In the southern most reaches of Hocking Hills is Ash Cave -
beyond doubt the most spectacular feature of the entire park.
Ash Cave is the largest, most impressive recess cave in the state.
Conkles Hollow
Conkle’s Hollow, situated off S.R. 374 on Big Pine Road is a rugged,
rocky gorge - considered one of the deepest in Ohio. The valley
floor is a veritable wilderness covered by a profusion of ferns and
wildflowers while hemlock, birch and other hardwood tower
overhead.
The growth is so thick in places that little or no sunlight reaches the
deep valley floor.
Rock House
Rock House is one of the six major areas of Hocking Hills State Park - Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Rock House, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls and Cantwell Cliffs.
Each of the park areas offers a unique experience for those who walk its paths.
Cantwell Cliffs
Cantwell Cliffs is located in the northern reaches of Hocking Hills - 17 miles from Old Man's Cave on S.R. 374. Its remote location discourages visitation, but those who travel the extra distance will not be disappointed.
Many visitors proclaim the Cantwell area as the most picturesque in Hocking County.
Lake Logan
Lake Logan is located in Hocking County in southeast Ohio, just outside of the city of Logan. It was originally known as "Hocking Lake", but was re-named to better reflect the Indian heritage of the area and to avoid confusion with the Hocking Hills State Park and Forest.
The 400 acre lake is ideal for fishing for northern pike, bass, bluegill, crappie, Muskie, catfish, and Saugeye.
