WONDERS OF OLD MAN'S CAVE AND THE HOCKING HILLS

This Friday, January 22nd, at 2pm, Hocking Hills State Park is hosting Wonders of Old Man's Cave. Participants will be led by Park Naturalists on a short hike, discovering some of the facts about the history of the area and the rock formations that are found throughout the park.

Old Man's Cave is one of Ohio's most popular natural attractions and the most visited one in the Hocking Hills. The gorge enveloping the cave is a natural formation and runs about a half mile, reaching depths of roughly 150 feet at the deepest point. Old Man's Cave itself is named for an early settler, Richard Rowe, who took to living in the cave after the Civil War.


Wonders of Old Man's Cave is a free event and you can contact Hocking Hills State Park for more information.

We hope you'll take a trip down to the Hocking Hills. It's beautiful, even in the winter!
