Hocking Hills Enterprises
Come Explore the Hocking Hills!
Deep in the heart of southeastern Ohio, the wild and
rugged Appalachian foothills have formed a treasure chest of natural riches
visitors have come to know as the Hocking Hills Region. Old Man's
Cave, Ash Cave and Rockbridge are ju
st
a few of these treasures found within the Hocking Hills region.
Dotted throughout the breathtaking surroundings of rolling hills, craggy cliffs and thick forestland are handfuls of small towns filled with a food-lovers choice of restaurants and a bargain-hunter's paradise of craft shops. There's enough stuff to do and see to fill a week's worth of fun with horseback riding, canoeing and festivals alone. Rent a cabin for the weekend or just stay for the day. Stop and visit a couple shops. Or just take in the natural beauty with a hike. But whatever you do finding your treasure, do it in the Hocking Hills!
