Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls, Hocking Hills State Park
The waterfall with the greatest flow in Hocking Hills, surrounded by towering hemlock forest, reachable by hiking along the creek from Old Man's Cave.
Located in the Queer's Gorge area, the waterfall drops about 15 m and has the greatest flow of any waterfall in Hocking Hills. It is surrounded by tall hemlock forest, and early settlers mistook the trees for cedars, which gave the falls their name. You can reach it in about 10 minutes by descending stone steps from the parking lot, or hike about 4 km from Old Man's Cave along the Gray Trail, passing a fork toward Ash Cave. Entry is free, but the stone steps become slippery after rain.
