Old Man's Cave-Hiking

There are six major regions of Hocking Hills State Park. Cantwell Cliffs, Rock House, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow and Cedar Falls make up the five other regions. Cliffs, waterfalls and towering hemlocks line the trail. Huge rock formations are never more than a stone's throw away and awesome bridges will take your breath away.

Interesting things to look for:

Old Man's Cave was aptly named for an early settler,  Richard Rowe, who set up living quarters in one of the many recess caves in the area after the Civil War. Killed by an accidental blast of his own gun, it is said local native Indians buried him somewhere near the entrance of the Cave. Take a guess where he is allegedly buried in one of the recess caves of the park.

Devil's Bathtub-a churning tub of water spilling into the creek below.

Waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls.

Sphinx Head-at the far end of the trail, a rock formation taking the form of a sphinx head.

Length: Old Man's Cave is approximately 1 mile long and takes about an hour to hike.
