Hocking Hills Ohio ultimate Travel Guide 2022

[@gsk801]

hiked the 7mi gorge overlook trail. was one of the coolest hiking experiences ever. well worth the 6 hour drive from MD!!

[@travelingwithgrecas6418]

That awesome! I agree, it definitely worth the drive especially if you come on a right season when falls are full of water

[@dinahnicest6525]

The 3 mile hike from OM Cave to Cedar Falls is well worth the effort.

My hometown. It is a very busy area in the summer… lots of tourism now compared to when I was a kid.

[@AlethaCates-o2m]

My friend was telling me about this place and I thought it sounded cool!😊 But after watching this video I definitely want to go ...did a great job! 💯

Thanks! This was a very clean edited and helpful guide.

Thank you ! Glad to hear that.

very informative and good commentary thanks

So glad to hear you enjoyed our video. We will be making more informative videos like this one in the future.

[@miked5728]

Thanks for the video!! We're headed there for vacation in 2 weeks! Also plan on ziplining, horseback trails, and ATV tour. And I'll be bringing my drone too!

[@bf6159]

Good video capture. I live HH, nice area in general, Logan is getting more Destination related establishments, good for folks into hiking, canoeing, star gazing, bird watching, horseback. The trails at OMC have changed recently, they did a bunch of renovations, some great, some unfortunate. Sadly, they destroyed some great features to account for folks who aren't too bright, and the trails are now one way. OMC is one of several trail locations in this area. Beyond that, there's also Wayne National and a few State Parks less than an hour from HH. Be prepared for Everglades like humidity and the potential of cold on any given day, and lots of steps.

Wish I had seen this before I went to hocking hills. My family checked out old man cave. Definitely using this as reference for next time

Amazing. 💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸 Why did they cut out swimming there? If you visit during the summer months that water looks refreshing.

Nearby Conkle’s Hollow is neat, too.

I thought drones are not allowed in any state park.

[@summerray1670]

I went there

[@travelingwithgrecas6418]

Did you like it?

[@keithtreisch6890]

Drones are not allowed on state property. So don't do it if you don't want to get in trouble with a ranger.

[@keithtreisch6890]

The drones are not permitted on hocking hills state park. The Rangers I talked to to ask permission first said so. You should've done 5 minutes of research and looked Into the local ordinances. Only a handful of state parks in Ohio will allow drones legally. And if yours is over 25p grams it needs to be faa licensed.

[@travelingwithgrecas6418]

@@keithtreisch6890 you are correct, drones are not permitted. You have to acquire a permission if you wish to fly and FAA registration and permission to fly are required as well, which we all acquired before even considering flying.

[@keithtreisch6890]

@travelingwithgrecas6418 ya well I'm saying I am here as of now July 2024 and I was told for the last 2 j half years by both Rangers no drones allowed of any sort for any reason u less you are flying for emergency services. Even then u need a permit. No permits or flying is allowed at all anymore in any hocking hills Parks etc. National forest Park etc etc. Thye were very adamant about it not being allowed for years now.

[@travelingwithgrecas6418]

@@keithtreisch6890 Ordinances change all the time. We filmed back in 2021. I actually contacted their office before hand by email and they said quote “Thank you for the information. You are permitted to fly in the parks so long as you don't fly over top of other people visiting the park.” I’m sure the rules have changed since 2021.

[@keithtreisch6890]

@travelingwithgrecas6418 ya. Apparently it wasn't long after 2021 thay they started not allowing it. Or this park ranger group I talked to was more by the book. I had tried to get a permit to fly it down ther and they are not giving out etc permits for it anymore for years now I was told. Rally bummed out. But the weather was dry we didn't even get to see the waterfalls really. Bit it seems they have to keep changing the hiking areas as well because of people disobeying the safety lines and burdening the habitats more and more.

[@leahhills7538]

Swimming in places in Ohio could possibly be restricted at times due to toxic algae blooms. Not all places deal with this, some blame fertilizers and flooding.

[@aquavelva4927]

What bodies of water in Ohio have issues with toxic algae blooms? I’ve only heard about this being in the extreme western end of Lake Erie in some years? There would no issues with algae in the Hocking Hills area, they’re just trying to keep people out of the water to preserve the park.

[@leahhills7538]

@@aquavelva4927 I know for sure saint Mary's has had issues a number of times. Indian lake has had issues in past . Think in 2019 there were warnings in many places in Ohio.

[@Expert50]

Hey genius your not legally allowed to fly drones in state or national parks ! Big fine BIG!

[@travelingwithgrecas6418]

Yes in National Parks, flying drones is illegal. However, for state parks it both varies per state and sometimes per park. Many of Ohio's State Parks can be flown without a permit. You can fly in Hocking Hills without a permit last time I visited (but always check, cause drone laws and rules constantly change). Before I went on this trip, I even contacted their office and this was the response I got back in April of 2021 "You are permitted to fly in the parks so long as you don't fly over top of other people visiting the park."

I hope you two are still wearing your masks. I'm sure you are protecting all the vulnerable in society. You may want to check with some on the thousands of highly respected doctors who say this is totally ridiculous. Keep believing in the CDC and the WHO. They certainly have your health and safety as their number one concern.
