Immerse Yourself in Rich History and Cultural Echoes
Ash Cave in Hocking Hills, Ohio, got its name from the large piles of ashes discovered by early settlers. They were believed to be remnants of Native American campfires. The cave’s natural acoustics create a unique whispering gallery effect, making it a historic gathering place for speeches, ceremonies, and even outdoor worship services in modern times.
Explore a Natural Amphitheater To Remember
Ash Cave measures approximately 700 feet across and forms a grand horseshoe-shaped recess cave. A seasonal waterfall cascades over the rim, feeding a sandy basin below. When temperatures drop in winter, that waterfall freezes into a striking ice pillar, emerald-hued and magical under morning sunlight!
The Ash Cave Trail Offers Accessibility and an Easy Hike
The Ash Cave Trail is a family-friendly loop of about half a mile, including a wheelchair-accessible paved gorge trail leading straight to the cave. A set of rock-carved steps ascends to the rim trail, offering stunning views of the canyon and forested surroundings.
