Old Man’s Cave

The most popular of the 6 Hocking Hills areas contains a number of waterfalls. The Old Man’s Cave area was named for Richard Rowe, a hermit who lived in the cave back in the early 1800’s. Rowe apparently died from an accidental gunshot wound at age 74 when he banged the butt of his rifle into the creek ice to get to the water below and the rifle discharged killing him. He was buried in the area but exactly where has been lost to time.

Rockbridge Falls

Located just north Hocking Hills State Park in the Rockbridge Nature Preserve is Rockbridge Falls which is seasonal and tumbles under the longest natural bridge in Ohio. The natural bridge is some 40 feet high so that is also the height of Rockbridge Falls. The town of Rockbridge was named for this natural landmark.
