The crown jewel of Ohio's state parks. The trail through the gorge to Old Man's Cave felt like an enchanted gnome forest. Some of the signage could be better, but bring a printed offap and follow the trailblazers and you should be fine.

I loved going here. The trails are super fun and slight challenge to everyone. Sometimes there are ladders that you have to climb. Very wet in some places but the view the whole times is super nice. I recommend here for anyone who loves hiking and wants to have a good time.

Had an amazing day hiking with friends. Old man's cave and rock house was so worth the trip. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Nice and clean place. If you haven't been it's a must go.

A surreal experience visiting Hocking Hills State Park as a family. On our visit to Ohio we were delighted to discover this beautiful park. Words and photos can’t describe how magical this state park is. If you enjoy being in nature than this is a must see. The park is large and has extensive hiking trails, a visitor centre with washrooms, multiple parking lots and trailheads, waterfalls and staircases as well as caves. Highly recommended 🫶

Old Man's Cave is really cool, however, there are peak times when half of Michigan is there 😂 and it's not as fun when you can't go at your own pace and see what you want. There's a great trail outside the cave area if you're up for a hike. Ash cave is also popular, but I've never encountered as many people there. It also has some great trails around it.
