Hocking Hills
Work has started on realignment of a one-mile section of State Route 664 at the Old Man’s Cave area. For decades, park visitors had to walk across the state highway which separated the large parking lot from the park entrance at this popular area. The highway will be relocated to the north, behind the parking lot, creating a safe entrance with a new visitor plaza that will serve as a focal point for guests arriving at the park. This major park improvement was made possible with the generous assistance of two key partners, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Friends of Hocking Hills State Park. Additional facilities planned for future construction include an A-frame bridge and accessible trail.
