  • Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour
    Hocking Hills Waterfall and Wildflower Driving Tour: The Hocking Hills, Ohio Waterfalls & Wildflower driving tour was designed to let visitors travel the back roads and see the wonders of the Hocking Hills from their car. Most of the Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls can be seen without getting out or, at most, walking a few feet. However, the route includes the state park system, which does require some hiking. You may choose to bypass these if they have been visited in the past or save them for another trip. It is our hope that you will save the map and revisit from time to time. The waterfalls are beautiful any season of the year, but are most apt to be flowing in the spring. In the winter, Hocking Hills, Ohio waterfalls are usually frozen into magnificent ice formations that defy description. Because of the steepness of the hills in this area, the water runs off quickly after a rain and might soon quit flowing. In late summer there might not be any water flowing over the falls. They are still quite beautiful, however, and we hope that you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the deep gorges and rock formations. Because of the intense shade in the gorges there are only a few wildflowers near the waterfalls, but the roadsides are carpeted with beautiful Ohio wildflowers from early April through October. You may begin and end your waterfalls & wildflowers driving tour at any point, but since this writer lives near Cedar Falls the numbers start there: Cedar Falls This deep gorge is shady and cool.

  • 2014 Ear in Eview
    2014 �ear in �eview uilding a �onservation �egacy Conservation Demonstration Site Takes Shape The Appalachia Ohio Alliance (AOA) Conservation Demonstration Site in Rockbridge is a leading feature of our ongoing efforts to undertake sound and practical conservation programs and practices that build a legacy of conservation to engage and benefit citizens and communities throughout central and southeastern Ohio. This flagship property is the core component of AOA’s Hocking River Conservation Corridor Initiative. It provides conserva- tion demonstration, outreach and educational opportunities to the local community, land owners and visitors to the Hock- ing Hills region. The Demonstration Site project builds upon the conservation vision and leadership of AOA founders and leaders, particularly Clyde Gosnell, whose land and water stewardship and habitat restoration practices have been incorpo- rated into the site practices and interpretation. The Demonstration Site opened for public visitation this fall although it remains a work in progress, with many additional improvement activities to be carried out over the next few years. AOA and our partners are continuing to upgrade the site and enhance our ability to better accommodate visitors and achieve the desired conservation demonstration, education and outreach potentials. AOA and our collaborative partners have been busy preparing the Demonstration Site to host visitors. This past year we undertook numerous activities and events at the Site. Some of these included a tree planting, Native Medicinal Plant walk led by United Plant Savers, Bird Box Installation with Logan High School and a Bird �onservation Habitat and Nest Box Workshop led by Ohio Bird Con- servation Initiative and Columbus Audubon.

  • Hocking Hills Scenic Byway Driving Tour Byway
    Hocking Hills Scenic Byway Driving Tour Byway Map 1 Hocking Hills Scenic Byway Driving Guide Welcome to the Hocking Hills Scenic Byway. This scenic drive will wind uphill and down through Ohio’s natural crown jewels, past the six non-contiguous sites of the Hocking Hills State Park and the Hocking State Forest. GPS: N39º 32.184’ W082º 26.683’ (approaching the intersection of US 33 & SR 374) The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway begins as you turn off US Route 33 onto Rt. 374 near Rockbridge, Ohio. GPS: N39º 34.598’ W082º 31.348’ (at intersection) More than 330 million years ago, the Hocking Hills State Park area was relatively level and was covered by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. For all those years, the ocean’s currents deposited immense amounts of sand and gravel. After millions of years, the ocean receded and formed the Black Hand Sandstone that underlies the area. Appalachian Mountains arose, form and feature were cast upon the area and created Hocking Hills. Peppered throughout these hills are cabins, lodges, Inns, yurts, treehouses, tipis and campgrounds offering travelers one-of-a-kind accommodations. These hills also inspire artists and craftsmen who have their works available in the many shops and galleries located throughout the region. Marvel as glass is blown into works of art. Discover just how relaxing basket weaving can be. Meet your inner artist with a painting class. Be entertained by local musicians playing everything from bluegrass to classic rock favorites while enjoying an adult beverage at a local winery or brewery. You can even indulge in authentic moonshine, legally, of course.

  • Hocking Hills State Park: a Look at State Park Development
    HOCKING HILLS STATE PARK: A LOOK AT STATE PARK DEVELOPMENT A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Carolyn Rizzuto March 2006 This thesis entitled HOCKING HILLS STATE PARK: A LOOK AT STATE PARK DEVELOPMENT by CAROLYN RIZZUTO has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Geoffrey L. Buckley Associate Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences RIZZUTO, CAROLYN, M.A., March 2006. Geography Hocking Hills State Park: A Look at State Park Development (99 pp.) Director of Thesis: Geoffrey L. Buckley The movements and perceptions sweeping across the nation during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries helped to facilitate the development of state parks in the U.S. The factors which enabled Hocking Hills State Park in Southeast Ohio to be created and become a major tourist attraction in the 1920s and 1930s are reflective of these national trends. The Hocking Hills Story casts light on the nation’s legacy of parks in general and the state parks movement in particular. Approved: Geoffrey L. Buckley Associate Professor of Geography This work is dedicated to my mother who has stood by my side through thick and thin. Acknowledgements I wish to thank the many volunteers at the Hocking County Historical Society in Logan, Ohio who provided me with wonderful pictures and post cards of the Hocking Hills and Hocking County. They gave me a better understanding of the region’s history and heritage which proved to be invaluable.
