10 minThe crown jewel of Hocking Hills State Park. A dramatic recess cave carved by centuries of water erosion, surrounded by towering hemlocks and a cascading waterfall. The most visited natural attraction in Ohio.
Ash Cave
15 minOhio's largest recess cave — a stunning 700-foot horseshoe-shaped cliff with a 90-foot waterfall at its center. The cave floor is carpeted in soft sand, making it an easy and awe-inspiring walk.
