One of the most significant and endearing qualities of the Hocking Hills is that it remains a fantastic vacation spot throughout the entire year. While it may not seem like it now, the holiday season is just around the corner. As autumn fades into the distance, Lake Logan State Park will become less busy, the temperatures drop, and the snow starts to pile up. Soon the fall mosaic of crimson, amber, and gold will surrender its prominence for a brilliant white blanket of fresh powder as far as the eye can see. But don’t let the frosty climate dissuade you from spending Christmas in Hocking Hills! Soon will be the time to relish in the crunch of a recent snowfall beneath your boots and the sounds of maple and oak cracking in the fireplace as a soft glow illuminates an assortment of nearby presents safely tucked beneath the tree. ​

Although we adore tradition, there’s some fun to have when taking a different approach to the holidays. This year, give your family a much-needed retreat by spending Christmas in Hocking Hills. With its sprawling hardwood forests, meandering streams, and picturesque landscapes, we promise you and your loved ones will have an unforgettable experience.

​A fine complement to our elegant cabins, the Hocking Hills region presents a multitude of outdoor recreation opportunities no matter what time of year. Whether it be winter hikes or star gazing from your driveway at night, winter will always be a magical time in our neck of the woods. Here are a few Hocking Hills winter activities you may find yourself doing during the holidays: 

• The Hocking Hills has an impressive selection of parks and trails for hiking, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing.
