Hocking Hills

Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve

The Hocking Hills region is a deeply dissected area of the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. The relatively dramatic topography in this area is due to the presence of Blackhand sandstone, a formation that erodes to form high cliffs and narrow, deep gorges.
