Is rock climbing or rappelling permitted in the Hocking Hills?
Ninety-nine acres of forest land have been set aside for rock climbing and rappelling. The area is located on Big Pine Road, one mile east of Conkle’s Hollow. A parking area is within easy walking distance of the rock and cliff face. There you will find excellent terrain for this growing sport.
