Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve
Conkle's Hollow
One of Ohio's deepest gorges, with an easy valley-floor trail to a small waterfall and a rim loop with 60 m cliffs.
This state nature preserve has sandstone cliffs about 60 m high on both sides of the gorge, and it is considered one of the deepest gorges in Ohio. The valley-floor trail is about 1 km long, paved and gentle, and leads to a small waterfall at its end. The rim loop of about 4 km follows the edge of the cliffs with views into the gorge, but there are no railings, so take extra care with children. Pets and rock climbing are prohibited in the preserve. Entry is free, and it is about 5 km from Old Man's Cave.
