There’s A Secret Waterfall In Ohio Known As Corkscrew Falls, And It’s Worth Seeking Out

If you’ve ever heard of an elusive “Corkscrew Falls” hiding in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio, you should know that it does in fact exist—but it goes by a different name and it’s only accessible after you’ve obtained a permit. Boch Hollow State Nature Preserve is home to this wondrous waterfall that once existed on private property, tucked away from the public eye. Today, lucky Ohio explorers can view this stunning natural wonder.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately.
