Rock House
Rock House, Hocking Hills State Park
The only true 'cave' in Hocking Hills, a tunnel-like rock passage cut into a sandstone cliff, with Gothic-style windows and once said to have sheltered bandits.
In the northern part of Hocking Hills, this tunnel-like rock shelter is set into the middle of a sandstone cliff. It is about 60 m long and 7.6 m high, with several openings in the cliff face that look like Gothic arched windows, letting light stream in. Historically it was used as a hideout by bandits and bootleggers. From the parking lot, it is about a 15-minute descent along the trail, with some steep stairs. It is about 15 km from Old Man's Cave and is often the final stop on a Hocking Hills day trip.
