Cindy’s Insider Ohio Tips!
Hiking around the waterfalls of Hocking Hills is high on my list of favorite pastimes! Hocking Hills is a busy area, so choose the time you visit these waterfalls carefully if you want the trails to be not too crowded. The nature of waterfalls dictates that the best time to visit is always soon after rain has fallen to get the full effect and beauty of the waterfall.
Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls is the largest waterfall in terms of volume in the Hocking region. The water comes from Queer Creek tumbling over the Blackhand stone, and after rainfall, this waterfall displays an amazing force of water power. In the mid-1800s there was a grist mill above the falls to make use of the water for grinding grain.
The Cedar Falls Trail is around ½ mile long and is a fairly difficult hike with steps. It is a one-way trail with bridges and unique rock formations as well as the Falls. As you can see from the photos above, Cedar Falls is amazing in all seasons of the year!

Conkle’s Hollow
The Conkle’s Hollow waterfall gently cascades. It is located at the edge of what is believed to be the deepest gorge in Ohio. The waterfall dries up in the summer months, so it is best to visit this waterfall after a period of sustained rain.

Ash Cave
These Falls are best seen in the spring after the snow of winter has melted away. In fact, the best time to visit is around March and April as this is when the waterfall is at its best. In the wintertime, when the temperatures are sub-zero, the waterfall will freeze over and turn into a large chunk of ice.
This waterfall is one of the nicest in Hocking Hills and it falls at a height of around 90 feet.

Old Man’s Cave
This waterfall is along the Old Man’s Cave trail and it receives millions of visitors a year. The waterfall is downstream from the upper falls and it slides down a rockface and drops down into the creek below, passing through the Devil’s Bathtub
At between 20-30 feet high, this waterfall is very scenic. It also has the added attraction of not being quite as busy as the upstream.

Rockbridge Falls
This waterfall flows over a natural bridge and this is why it has the name, Rockbridge Falls. Whilst this isn’t the heaviest flowing waterfall in Hocking Hills, it is a wonderful waterfall to visit as it is very photogenic. This is a small waterfall, but due to the stunning area, it is a favorite with many people.
It is advised that to see it at its best, the best time of the year will be to come in April after the snows of winter have melted and there has been some rain.
