Cantwell Cliffs

Around Ohio
 
The last set of rock formations in the Hocking Hills area is known as Cantwell Cliffs. It is located farthest north, 17 miles from Old Man's Cave. But it is one of the most picturesque areas in Hocking County. Large slump blocks which fell away from the main cliffs have created many narrow passageways which trails wind through today.

The uneven ground requires stone steps in some places. Rock cliffs form vertical walls on either side of these stairs.
