Absolutely beautiful state park, Hocking is was gorgeous. We visited on July 29, 2024. We were pretty ambitious and hiked from upper falls all the way to ash cave (roughly 12 miles total. That’s what a worker at the visitor center told us) also summer time disclaimer. None of the falls are very active. But still work the trek. I’m adding a lot of pictures and videos of my journey, they will show you what it is like to go from the upper falls all the way down to ash cave. Starting from the visitor center you will walk a paved path to a bridge. Hopping on buckeye trail You will see the upper falls, devils bathtub, whale in the wall, eagle rock, old man cave, turtle rock, sphinx head, and lower falls. You will continue on buckeye trail until you cedar falls trail, you can either hop on yellow trail or stay on buckeye. We chose to hop on yellow and check out cedar falls, while there you can use the bathroom facilities. Hopping back on the buckeye trail you walk a gravel path until you get to a wooded trail. You will eventually see the fire watch tower. Keep on the trail and make it to ash cave. They also have restroom facilities. You do not need to endure a long hike to enjoy all of the places, most of them are readily accessible by car with just a short walk to the main attraction.
