The hiking trails here are very nice. The lower Gorge Trail is pretty easy and is 0.5 miles and takes you down in the gorge to a nice waterfall at the end of the trail. Legend has it that there were two hemlock trees in front of the waterfall and two Native Americans stole treasure from someone that was passing through and hid the treasure in this area by climbing up one of the trees to reach up high and then cutting it down. But then the other tree also fell and so they had no way to get back to their treasure and supposedly no one has ever found it. The cliff trail will take you up to the highest points in Hocking Hills and allows you to make a complete circle around the gorge below. The upper cliff trail is much more challenging at 2.5 miles but has some of the most beautiful views in all of Hocking Hills. Overall, this is a beautiful place to visit. Parking...
Read moreBeautiful location, and well designed to make it accessible to those with mobility needs. Pathways are paved or boardwalk almost the whole way into the Hollow.

Plan footwear accordingly, your feet may get wet if you go past the paved path. This is a preserve and dogs are not allowed, please stay on...

Upper rim was nice because after you got up the hike up in elevation at the beginning it didn’t change elevation the rest of the hike until...
