Day 2
The second day of your Hocking Hills journey is best spent by spending the day exploring Hocking Hills State Park. This local park is easily the biggest draw to the area and should be seen by everyone. Hocking Hills State Park is divided up into several different areas each with something unique to see. Visitors will be able to traverse relatively easy hiking trails that will take you past waterfalls, rivers and streams, recess caverns, and natural sandstone structures. Hocking Hills State Park can be enjoyed during all times throughout the year as well. The spring season has the water flowing at its highest while the summer offers plenty of beautiful weather. The winter season brings something unique as the streams and waterfalls are frozen in place for beautiful views. The wildlife will also be out checking out the area too. Each trail is connected by a paved path allowing those in wheelchairs to see many of the beautiful views too. Experiencing Hocking Hills State Park is a must-see journey here in the area!
For dinner, there is no place quite as great as Urban Grille. This local eatery has everything you want for dinner. The vast menu includes local favorites such as hamburgers, sandwiches, BBQ, seafood and much more. We highly recommend enjoying your meal out on the outdoor patio during the warmer months of the year. Urban Grille is the top restaurant for high-quality and elegant food, but in a casual setting.
Day 3
Now that you have had two days of exciting activities, it is time to kick back and relax here in Hocking Hills. The area features many different ways to relax outdoors, including fishing. This is one of the area’s most popular pastimes, and you can join in on all of the fun as well. Visitors should be aware of Ohio’s state laws associated with fishing beforehand. You can easily pick up all of the equipment and gear you need, including fishing licenses from local bait shops. Typical gear that is often needed for a successful fishing voyage include reels, rods, lines, and bait. If you feel confident in fishing on your own without a guide, you will find plenty of places to try it out. This includes Lake Logan State Park and Lake Hope State Park. Stop by Lake Logan Marina where you can snag a boat rental to cruise around the water with. If you do want a guide look no further than Ohio Belly Boat Fishing for whole-day and half-day treks to find the best spots to reel in a trophy from.
