Trendy Isn't Cool

Cairns

Rock stacking-though trendy-causes an ecological impact. When you pick up rocks, it is actually somebody’s house! The state parks have to dismantle hundreds every weekend. Help protect the wildlife of the Hocking Hills by leaving rocks as they are. 

Carving

Carving your name into the rocks and caves of the Hocking Hills does damage to the structures. Everyone wants to have an amazing experience seeing and touching new things. Help keep the park as untouched by humans as possible by not marking into trees and rocks. 

Selfies

We all love a good selfie. But being smart is the key to a great selfie in the Hocking Hills. Staying on trail and finding the perfect backdrop is easy with the expansive beauty of the parks. If you wander off trail to look for a location, you are setting yourself up for disaster. #Don’tDoItForTheVine
