Explore the Hocking Hills Region

Whether you’re visiting from Columbus or another state, Hocking Hills is a great getaway destination any time of the year. It’s an ideal place for nature lovers and those wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of the workweek. In the winter, you’ll love seeing how the landscape changes to reveal a picturesque winter wonderland. Cold air leaves everything with an icy glaze. See frozen waterfalls and the winter wildlife on a frosty winter hike.

Plan for a Festive Holiday Activity

Christmas in Ash Cave

If your holiday getaway in Ohio falls around Christmastime, bring the family to this must-see event. The Annual Christmas in Ash Cave brings the holiday to life. Take a self-guided candle-lit walk to Ash Cave. Once there, you’ll be awed by the festive sights. Families can visit Santa and pose for pictures. Munch on refreshments like rich hot cocoa and Christmas cookies while sitting around the warm fire. Join in with the carolers as they sing your favorite holiday classics.

Santa Christmas Train Ride

All aboard for a festive train ride with Hocking Valley Scenic Railways. Each train car is festively adorned with bows, tinsel, lights, and more. Enjoy passing through the winter scenery of Hocking Valley to the sounds of Christmas favorites. The most exciting part is seeing Santa make his rounds stopping to hear what each little boy and girl wants for Christmas. Make sure you’ve got your wish list ready!
