If you're looking to take a scenic drive or hike soon in Hocking Hills, fall is a great time of year to do so, as the area will soon be blanketed in bright colors, but it is beautiful year-round.
Hocking Hills officials encourage guests to take advantage of seasonal activities such as horseback riding and train rides to see the fall colors.
You can also take a drive into Hocking Hills Scenic Foothills to see the fall foliage. The route begins at State Route 374 on U.S. 33 and continues as it connects all Hocking Hills State Park sites from Cantwell Cliffs to Conkle’s Hollow to Old Man’s Cave. The byway is 26.4 miles.
