items Hocking Hills is a cheaper but extensive set of Midwest hiking trails. The trails are absolutely gorgeous with endless scenery. This was one of my favorite trips to do. If you are not a country or outside person this is not the trip for you. Fortunat...

Things to Do
This is a very outdoorsy place. If you are not into outside activities I would not recommend this trip.
Hocking Hill Ohio has around 20 trails. Some people choose to stick to the main 5. My friend and I managed to do all of them in a long weekend. It is a LOT of driving from trail to trail.

Hocking Hills has basic Lake fishing if you are into that. This wasn't something that I went for but the option is there

Cute spot in town!

Place to Stay
The No.1 way to stay at Hocking Hills is treehouses. I wouldn't recommend anything else unless you have to. The treehouses are absolutely amazing and so much fun! TIP: Book way in advance!
Camping is always an option at Hocking Hill.

STAY HERE! Absolutely loved this place. You have your choice of what treehouse you want, there are hottubs, fireplaces, and playgrounds under you. In the middle of the property there is a treehouse for hanging out with elevated firepits in the trees ...
Treehouses at River Ranch
Food/Drinks/COFFEE
I would not recommend relying on restaurants while you are here. Packing and planning ahead of time will be key with this trip. Our treehouse had a kitchen and we did a lot of prep beforehand.
Here are a list of options if you want to grocery shop or boutique food. There are a lot of campgrounds around the area so there are cute little shops and food stores.
Bakeries, Delis & Specialty Foods
NO. 1 recommendation for this trip for coffee. My friend and I fell in love with this coffee shop when we were there. So many options, not a bad drink or food. They have everything from hot drinks to homemade kombucha!
Hocking Hills Coffee Emporium
Main Trails
These are the trails that my friends and I have personally hiked while we were there. There are many more on the trailsapp, but these are the ones we can vouch for. Some of these are extremely busy and some are the exact opposite.
Probably my favorite trail. So pretty and wasn't super long, but a lot to look at. Parking was chaos.
Ash Cave - Hocking Hills
This was a much longer trail. There was a lot of splits and turns. We ended up meeting friends on this trail! Alot of families try to do the whole thing in flip flops and there is some random congestion.
Cantwell Cliffs - Hocking Hills, Ohio
This is actually part of two other trails. They all collide at some point and it ends up being around 7 miles if you aren't careful.
Cedar Falls - Hocking Hills
This is a set of two trails, that can also lead to another. Wait for signs and color coding on the trees
Conkles Hollow Nature Preserve
WARNING: This is a trail that is connected to a couple more. Have a map. My friends and I got lost for a couple hours going through multiple trails.
Old Man's Cave

Probably the busiest trail there is. Tons of people and traffic.
Rockbridge State Nature Preserve - Hocking Hills
Busiest trail. Everyone was trying to get into the rock house at the same time. There is also a cliff that looks like Pandora that everyone tries to get a picture with at the same time.
Rock House - Hocking Hills
Fun trail. We didn't realize we were on it because it connects to two main trails.
