Hiking
Old Man's Cave - The most popular spot in Hocking Hills for visitors. Scenery includes caves, cliffs, and waterfalls. It has a large visitors center with hiking loop turn arounds at Old Man's Cave, Whispering Cave, or Cedar Falls
Clear Creek Metro Park - We aren't sure what the largest Columbus Metro Park is doing down here, but we love it. It's got a great loop trail that starts with a strenuous climb from either direction
Rockbridge - Great, shorter hike. Easy access off 33 with a cool natural rock bridge and the Hocking River at the end.
Ash Cave - Another very popular destination.
Buckeye Trail - Ohio's largest trail. You can find it snaking through Hocking Hills and it marks the border of Lazy Ferret Glamping. Anytime is a great time to become a section hiker.
Restaurants
Home Tavern - Typical bar food and a selection of <$2 beers on tap. Try 'The Tav'
Pizza Crossing - What's a getaway without pizza?
