Conclusion
There are many great trails in Hocking Hills. Most have stunning views of the multiple waterfalls in the area, and you can even get wet in some locations. If this is your first visit, we recommend stopping at Cantwell Cliffs first to take in the stunning views as you get a good workout walking up the steep stairs. The Rock House is a fantastic location that is easier to explore and usually has other dogs that your pet can play and socialize with. Be aware that since many people visit the park and the terrain is rough in some areas, you will need to keep your pet on a leash at all times, no matter which trail you choose, but you and your pet will still have a great experience!
