Ever want to get away with your furry-four legged friend? The hocking hills is the perfect place for a day trip or even an overnight stay in a pet friendly cabin! Here is a breakdown of trails and businesses that are pet friendly.

Pet Friendly Hikes

Most of the trails in the hocking hills are pet friendly. The first pet friendly trail is Old Man’s Cave. If your furry friend likes to play in the water this is a perfect place for them to roam. Old Man’s cave has two waterfalls, an upper and lower falls. This trail also has many creeks that run along the path. This hike is a little difficult at times and is a longer trail. This hike would be nice for a younger dog who needs to get some energy out. Next up there is Ash Cave which is a simple but beautiful hike. This trail would be better for a dog who is older. This path is mainly flat and paved. Another good hike for an older dog would be Cedar Falls. This is a moderate hike that has a lot of steps. Please keep in mind that pets are not allowed in Nature Preserves when finding the perfect hike for you and your pet. Some Nature Preserves to keep in mind to avoid when you bring your pet are: Conkle's Hollow, Boch hollow, and Rockbridge Nature Preserve

Pet Friendly Businesses

When visiting the Hocking Hills here are some local businesses that are pet friendly. Bring your furry friend along with you to check out the local Brewery 33 who is pet friendly inside and outside.
