Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve

Conkles Hollow is a state nature preserve within the Hocking Hills region. Its sheer cliffs of Black Hand sandstone rise nearly 200 feet above the valley floor.

The deep, cool gorge, which is only 100 feet wide in places and is considered to be the deepest in Ohio, has numerous waterfalls cascading over its sandstone cliffs.

The lower trail through the gorge is about 1 mile and is accessible for the most casual of hikers. The rim trail is a couple miles long and is a bit more strenuous.

Upper rim trail.....with color!
Loving this little moody shot of Conkles Hollow.  This was taken from the rim trail (east side).  This place is beautiful!  Views like this from the top and waterfalls and lush foliage in the gorge trail.  Highly recommend this place!
