Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve

Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

Conkles Hollow is a state nature preserve within the Hocking Hills region. Its sheer cliffs of Black Hand sandstone rise nearly 200 feet above the valley floor.

The deep, cool gorge, which is only 100 feet wide in places and is considered to be the deepest in Ohio, has numerous waterfalls cascading over its sandstone cliffs.

The lower trail through the gorge is about 1 mile and is accessible for the most casual of hikers. The rim trail is a couple miles long and is a bit more strenuous.
Upper rim trail.....with color!
Loving this little moody shot of Conkles Hollow.  This was taken from the rim trail (east side).  This place is beautiful!  Views like this from the top and waterfalls and lush foliage in the gorge trail.  Highly recommend this place!

A perfect cabin experience
The cabin met all our needs. The owner was delightful and left very clear instructions about our stay. The hot tub was hot and ready to go when we arrived. There was firewood at the fire pit. The weather happened to be glorious. We are already planning when we can go back.

The rooms were spotless, the kitchen was well stocked,however, you should supply sweet n low for those who don't drink sugar. My husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson enjoyed the hot tub. I loved the quiet. All in all, my family enjoyed the peace and quiet.
