    Split Rocks Trail is a genuine hidden gem nestled in Hocking Hills where you will find an outstanding geological feature called Split Rocks. Thought to be the result of an earthquake, the Black Hand Sandstone has split into vertical slabs, creating a maze-like feature.

    Access to the Split Rocks Trail is through Camp Oty’Okwa. There are some designated parking spots at the trailhead.

    This trail takes you along a tree-lined ridge and ends at Split Rocks. The hiking path is easy to follow as the trees form the trail wall.

    Split Rocks Trail Hocking Hills is a moderate hike of around 2.5 miles. The surface is forest trail, and you can expect this trail to take approximately 3 hours, there and back.

    Big Brothers Big Sisters is a charitable organization that offers direct, one-to-one mentoring for children from 5 years old through young adulthood. Their mission statement is: “Create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.”
