Hocking Hills State Park possesses more points of interest to the
lovers of nature than can be found in any other portion of the
state. The rugged beauty lures the naturalist, botanist,
zoologist or adventurer from across the country.
The park is open year-round and offers something new and exciting
with each coming season. The brilliant fall colors, crystalline
ice formations in winter, wildflowers of spring and summer, and
abundant wildlife all year delight visitors.
Because of its wilderness character, the park can be hazardous if
you stray from the designated trails. Be sure not to lean over
rock ledges and keep young children restrained. Certain trail
sections have been closed for your protection. While visiting
the park, please help us in maintaining its pristine character
by collecting litter and minimizing your impact during your
stay. Picking wildflowers and other plants is prohibited. Many
plants found here are part of a delicate ecosystem which must be
preserved for it cannot be reestablished once altered. For
these reasons Hocking Hills State Park requires by law that
HIKERS MUST REMAIN ON THE DESGINATED TRAILS AT ALL
TIMES.
It is our desire that you enjoy your visit to Hocking Hills State
Park to the utmost and that you return again and again.
