6 HOCKING HILLS every adventurer s dream. Vacations and stories go together like peanut butter and jelly. Some vacation stories are funny, some are poignant, some are unbelievable and some just make our heart smile every time we remember our travels. Southeast Ohio s Hocking Hills provide the perfect backdrop for your vacation stories. Located in the foothills of Appalachia, the Hocking Hills are Ohio s natural crown jewels. The terrain changes from towering cliff faces to deep ravines through sandstone caves to forests with wildflower carpets. The unique topography makes for an awesome eco playground. The Hocking Hills is best known for miles and miles of scenic hiking trails traversing prehistoric caves, sparkling waterfalls and clifftop vistas, but there is so much more. Over sixty ziplines make Hocking Hills the canopy tour capital of the Midwest and that s just the beginning. Canoe or kayak the historic Hocking River. Rent a pontoon boat and cruise around Lake Logan. Take a horseback ride to an authentic cowboy cookout. Rock climbing and rappelling on a real cliff face is always better than a man-made indoor climbing wall. There s nothing like a good fish story and there s plenty of great fishing in this playground. As you relax around the fire pit at your cozy cabin tucked into the woods the stories of your day will linger in the evening air as the night sky fills with an unforgettable star show.
