Conkle's Hollow features two trails. Gorge Trail, which follows the bottom to a waterfall. And the Rim Trial, which circles high above the gorge. Beautiful views of the Hocking Hills. *Rim Trail is not recommended for small children.

Conkle's Hollow, situated off S.R. 374 on Big Pine Road is a rugged, rocky gorge - considered one of the deepest in Ohio. The valley floor is a veritable wilderness covered by a profusion of ferns and wildflowers while hemlock, birch and other hardwood tower overhead. The growth is so thick in places that little or no sunlight reaches the deep valley floor.

Great rock formations and one very easy gorge trail and a more challenging rim trail.

This is our favorite hike in the area! The rim trail views are outstanding! Take the gorge trail for an easy 1/4 mile paved hike.

One of the most scenic natural history regions in the state, the sheer sandstone cliffs rise nearly 200 feet above the lushly covered valley floor. There you’ll find a profusion of native plants, wildflowers, and hardwood forests so thick little or no sunlight reaches the floor in some places. The trail leading up the narrow, half-mile ravine is surrounded by cliffs towering over 200 feet above and can be 300 feet or less from cliff to cliff in certain areas. At the top visitors are treated with magnificent views from some of the highest cliffs in Hocking Hills State Park. Experienced hikers may want to try the rim trail above the gorge. For an easier hike, the lower gorge trail was recently designed to accommodate visitors of all abilities.
