Description
Carved out of blackhand sandstone deep in a gorge sits the Rock House at Hocking Hills. The park holds rich history and a wide variety of flora and fauna. At 200 feet long, Rock House is the longest natural tunnel in the state.
Common folklore credits the location as a shelter for robbers, bootleggers and horse thieves, but its story began long before the 1800s. Native Americans used this location and their remnants can still be seen today.
