Waterfall Hikes Near South Zanesville, OH
within 50 miles
Zanesville country is river valley, so the waterfall days head out in two directions. Hocking Hills lies southwest, where Cedar Falls slides fifty feet down a sandstone wall less than a mile from the trailhead, easy going, dogs fine. Mohican State Park sits the other way. Big and Little Lyons Falls hide in its hemlock gorge, each a couple miles of walking with modest climbing, and Grove Falls asks about the same. Four falls in range, both drives under an hour and a half.
