Great tips for your holiday weekend!
As we start this holiday weekend, we want to give some general tips to help make your experience more enjoyable.
1. You cannot swim in any body of water in Hocking Hills State Park. The closest beach is Lake Logan, pictured below. It is about a 15 minute drive from the Old Man's Cave Visitor Center, just outside of the town of Logan (For more information, follow this link: https://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/lake-logan-state-park)
There are also other parks with swimming beaches in the region: https://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property
2. Holiday weekends mean that our parking lots get very crowded. Have a plan B, C, or D for your trip. Research the area for backup options. Who knows, you might find a new favorite site! The earlier you can get here, the better. Remember, you have from sunrise to sunset to be out on trails.
3. Check out our free naturalist programs for the weekend!
4. Lastly, but most importantly, be safe out there!
