Hocking Hills State Park

 

We visited Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio during this summer. Since summer is the best place to visit state parks, I will be waiting excitingly for summer every year. We stay in the place where it starts snowing from December to Marc hence, coming out of the house to have FUN is only during summer.

State parks are fun because of the freedom we get to spend our time. Camping, hiking, walking trails, Kayaking, BBQ-ing, and many other fun activities are the greatest attractions of state parks.

I have saved many state parks on my Google Maps so that I can mark them once after visiting. Though Hocking Hills was saved last year, this year we got time to visit the park.

You need almost a day to visit all these places by trails. There are signs and boards around the park to help people to visit the places. Since the park is open all year along, you can plan for Hocking Hills State Park during summer or fall or winter. During summer the park offers hiking, trailing whereas in fall it is amazingly beautiful with fall colors and in winter snow is the best thing to watch!
