LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN THE HOCKING HILLS — Hocking Hills Jellystone
The last big weekend of the summer. And it's beautiful up here right now.
The trails are still green. The waterfalls are still running. The evenings are cool enough for a real campfire but warm enough for the swim beach in the afternoon.
If you've been thinking about a Labor Day weekend in Ohio's most beautiful corner — this is the year, and this is the window.
🥾 Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Conkles Hollow, Rock House — all at their late-summer peak.
🎪 What's around the region:
Summer Hocking Hills Craft Show — Logan, August 29-30 (140+ artisan vendors, live music)
Hocking Valley Scenic Railway — full Labor Day weekend schedule
Hocking Hills Winery — live music on the patio all weekend
John Glenn Astronomy Park — dark-sky viewing at its late-summer best
Plus zip-lines, kayaking, horseback riding, and guided hikes across the region
🏕️ Back at the park: floating obstacle course, swimming beach, fishing lake, jump pad, gem mining, disc golf, character visits with Yogi Bear, and Labor Day weekend activities.
🚧 A note: We're building a new pool, new bathhouse, new laundry, and new parking lot — ready by late fall. Construction is contained to the north section, weekday hours only. Your weekend experience is unaffected.
⏰ WE'RE FILLING UP FAST. Labor Day weekend is the last big weekend of the summer — and inventory is moving.
Cabins, RV sites, and tent sites — call this week to lock in your dates before they're gone.
