Chillicothe keeps two listings on its page, and both carry the name Cedar Falls with the same numbers in our data: a 50-foot drop, nine tenths of a mile of easy trail, 100 feet of gain, and dogs welcome. The Hocking Hills gorge near Old Man's Cave holds the well-known one, an easy drive northeast through the hills. Go after a wet week, when the falls carry real volume, and give the rest of the Hocking trail system whatever daylight you have left.
