A Landscape That the Glaciers Overlooked

HOCKING HILLS SCENIC BY-WAY
The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway


The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway was officially designated as an Ohio Scenic Byway in February 2005. The Scenic Byway passes through some of Ohio’s most beautiful landscapes and circles the natural areas of the Hocking Hills State Park.

The route begins as you turn off US Route 33 onto Rt. 374 near Rockbridge, Ohio. At this point, you may wish to reset your trip odometer to best follow the following narration of the Hocking Hills Scenic Byway’s points of interest.

You will notice a stream that flows on the right. As the tale is told, a buck deer was wounded on Little Cola Road and ran for many miles. The pioneer trackers found it in a mill pond near this stream. According to Effie Woltz, a well-known Hocking County school teacher, the stream derives its name from the deer’s valiant efforts. It is called Buck Run.

About .4 miles later on St. Rt. 374 you will see an Indian mound on the right. Prehistoric Indians called the Hopewells created this mound. It was said to have been excavated by a former landowner, but very few artifacts were found. This mound is believed to have been a burial mound.

Just past the mound on the right, and all along the scenic byway route, you will see outcroppings of Blackhand sandstone. This type of stone is prevalent in the area.

The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway also winds by many small farms in Hocking County
