Hocking Hills State Park
There is no bigger attraction to the area than Hocking Hills State Park. While a visit to a local state park may not seem romantic at first, you will be pleasantly surprised by what you see inside. Hocking Hills State Park offers miles of trails across several different points of the park. It is known for some truly special sights such as waterfalls, creeks, local wildlife, and its sandstone rock formations. Seeing the park in person for the first time will put a smile on your face. For those planning a Hocking Hills getaway during the summer or fall seasons, the park will be the perfect temperature to easily spend multiple hours outside. The treetops keep the trails shaded so you can stay comfortable. The creeks and waterfalls will be flowing, providing plenty of photo opportunities. Visiting in the winter is also highly recommended for a romantic experience. During the colder months, visitors will find the trails and trees dusted with a light snow cover that provides a romantic ambiance. The waterfalls are often frozen completely solid for beautiful views. Much of the wildlife is also more active during the colder months of the year, so you are almost guaranteed to see something out in the park.
