Hocking Hills Photohoot Locations

July 11, 2022

Did you know that Hocking Hills State Park in Logan Ohio is a pretty big deal? It is! As a Hocking Hills Photographer I’ve learned that Hocking Hills is one of the most traveled to destinations. It is the perfect place for a family weekend getaway. The perfect place to meet your extended family at an amazing cabin. The perfect place to propose to your partner for a lifetime together.

I have been photographing in the Hocking Hills area for years and I definitely have my favorite locations for your Hocking Hills Photo Session. My top five spots are Ash cave, which is very accessible to all family members with a paved path back to the falls. Following that I love Cedar Falls and the stream that runs through the ever greens. Old Man’s Cave is the “classic hocking hills destination” with a number of scenic spots along the trail. Finally Conkles Hollow is one of my newest grand views, the hike up the the ridge is mildly challenging, but well worth it.

I’d love to chat with you about what ever kind of photos you may be looking for in Hocking Hills. We can find the perfect spot for you and your loved ones! This Hocking Hills Photographer will steer you in the right direction.

In addition to family photo sessions and engagement sessions I’ve done quite a few Hocking Hills Weddings and here is one of them at The Hangar.

Old Mans Cave

This is the "go to" classic Hocking Hills spot. The trail is one of the longer ones, but it boasts tons of scenic spots along the way. Best to get there early to avoid the crowds though.

Ash Cave

This trail is very family friendly and accessible to most family members. The path is paved to the falls and it boosts a very large and open cave and its a great place to let the kids run and play in the sand.

Upper Rim Trail -

What a beautiful vista overlooking the beautiful rolling hills! It's a little bit of a hike up to the spot and I would not recommend young kids but its so beautiful.

Lower Gorge Trail-

This lower gorge trail is very family friendly, and really pretty! It can get a little dark in there, so best to have the session here in mid day when the sun is at it's highest.

Cedar Falls

This is my favorite year round location. The evergreens are always green and look beautiful among the rocks and stream the run along the trail. The colors are beautiful together all year.
