Summer Sizzles in the Hocking Hills
There is still plenty of Summer left to
explore the Hocking Hills State Park and, don’t forget…September
typically offers great weather, and a quieter time in the Park…even as
the smell of Fall is in the air and the leaves begin to change. For some
new adventures in areas you may not have experienced before, you might
want to check out Hocking Hills Adventure Trek’s
excursions to Chapel Cave, Spruce Hollow, and more. For special “Hot
Deals” throughout the region for the remainder of August and into the
Fall, please visit the Hocking Hills Tourism Associations BRAND NEW website. A full list of Park events through the end of the year may be found here.

Friends celebrates it's 10th Year Anniversay
Since 2003, the Friends of Hocking Hills
have donated over $250,000 in projects and funds to the Hocking Hills
State Parks. The group has funded rope rescue safety equipment,
playground equipment in the campground, a new archery range, and built
raptor cages, a wildlife viewing blind at Rose Lake, and a butterfly
habitat at the Old Man’s Cave Visitor’s Center. These improvements have
been made without state funds or fees to users, through the generosity
of people just like you who love the area and have donated to the
Friends of the Hocking Hills. We support naturalist programs and live
animal care, and funded a study and sponsored the relocation
of State Route 664 at Old Man’s Cave. Future goals include the
construction of an impressive Astronomy Education Center to be built at
the Hocking Hills State Park Lodge. Stay tuned for news on a special
10th Annual Celebration!
Mission:
“To foster a partnership
between outdoor enthusiasts and Hocking Hills State Park that ensures a
better place for nature education, while setting high conservation
standards and raising a strong sense of responsibility for future
generations.”
