Ever wonder if there is still a place where people talk instead of text, spend less time with their inbox, more time with their tackle box and follow tweets coming from the sky instead of a screen?

Imagine a place where you can re-connect with your family and friends or just you and that special someone. You're lounging on the deck, in the hot tub or around the campfire, completely relaxed and laughing as stories of the day linger in the evening air. It's guaranteed to be one of those moments you'll wish will never end and it doesn't have to because there is so much to experience in Ohio's Hocking Hills.

Mother Nature out did herself when she created the Hocking Hills and for millions of years her artistry has been on display for all to see.

Explore the region by horseback and see the paths less traveled. Drop a line for the catch of the day in one of Ohio’s best fishing lakes, Lake Logan.

Take a ride on the same road Ford tests their Mustangs. After enjoying the country roads on your Harley, relax with a cold one and live music at Bike Night, Tuesdays from mid-May through mid-September. And, don’t miss the Hocking Hills Poker Run in May and the Annual Labor Day Weekend Motorcycle Rodeo.
