We visited Old Man’s Cave, the most popular area in Hocking Hills State Park. It was named after an old hermit who made the cave his home during the mid-1700s. We followed a one-way loop with several short trails through Old Man’s Cave’s five sections (Upper Falls, Upper Gorge, Middle Falls, Lower Falls, and Lower Gorge) and were rewarded with scenic views of falls, caves, cliffs, and other natural features of this beautiful gorge.

Afterward, we drove to Cedar Falls, the park’s most abundant waterfall. Fortunately, it had recently rained, so we saw significant water rushing over the edge. Old Man’s Cave and Cedar Falls were unexpected yet amazing highlights, and we’re already looking forward to returning to discover other areas of this beautiful state park.
