There’s nothing like a hike in Ohio nature to refresh your body and revive your mind. The Hemlock Bridge Trail at Hocking Hills State Park features a cave, waterfall and suspension bridge. It’s an eventful hike that belongs at the top of your outdoor bucket list.

The Hemlock Bridge Trail is a 1-mile trek on its own, but it also leads to Whispering Cave, which adds about another half mile to the journey.
