  • 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.

The highlight of the hike has to be the waterfalls at the end of the box canyon.

Rock Stalls Natural Sanctuary is a 70 acre private preserve in the Hocking Hills area that is owned and operated by Camp Akita, but the management of Camp Akita also allows access to the general public.

The sanctuary is definitely off the beaten path in the sometimes tourist heavy hocking hills area. It offers a quiet bit of respite with beautiful scenery in a box canyon with a creek and waterfalls.
