Hocking Hills Hello

The Hocking Hills region is Ohio's scenic wonderland - gorges, waterfalls, hiking & bridle trails, fishing and more. This blog will provide tidbits of information about current happenings in the Hocking Hills, as well as reports of daily life in the country. It's also a great way to stay up to date on great deals at Marsh Hollow, our log cabin vacation rental property at Marsh Hollow (www.marsh-hollow.com).

Biking in the Hocking Hills

I planned to write this post for a recent guest, a lovely lady and avid biker (the non-motorized kind). Several years ago, I know I found a web site that described several bike routes along roads in the Hocking Hills. Personally, I wouldn't bike on our roads, too curvy, too hilly and cars going too fast. But there are many brave souls who do bike and might appreciate some guidance.

While I can't find that site anymore, the Inn at Cedar Falls has a very nice page that describes dedicated bikeways like the Hockhocking Adena Bikeways from Nelsonville to Athens, mountain biking trails at the Hocking Hills State Park, and finally, suggested road routes.

Check them out at http://innatcedarfalls.com/hocking-hills/cycling/.

Please be careful out there, bikers. Stay away from busy tourist times, have appropriate equipment for road riding, and obey all traffic rules and regulations. This is for you, Martha!
