Cedar Falls at Hocking Hills
One of my favorite childhood memories of visiting Hocking Hills State Park was hiking to Cedar Falls. Starting our adventure at the trailhead of Ash Cave, we would pack a picnic lunch setting out towards Old Man’s Cave as our final destination. Today, I was hiking with my friend Sarah and it brought back such great childhood memories.
It was easy to follow the trail as the pathway was marked by blue blazes, a section of Ohio’s Buckeye Trail. At the start of our trek, we hiked inside of the gorge and later reached the rim for some spectacular views.
There was a small chill in the air as we were surrounded by the local Black Hand Sandstone and bare hemlock trees. The water had frozen over and waterfalls seemed suspended in ice.
We finally reached the fifty foot drop of Cedar Falls in the valley of Queer Creek. While not the tallest or most breathtaking, these falls are the largest in volume than other falls throughout the park. This was the reward for hiking Cedar Falls, so we took in the view and decided it was time for lunch before continuing the second half of our hike.
