1. Ash Cave Trail Marker
This hard-surfaced trail meanders one-quarter mile along a stream which sculpted the sandstone gorge terminating at majestic Ash Cave. Early settlers named this rock shelter for the huge mounds of campfire ashes that blanketed its floor, testimony to the generations of Native Americans who took Shelter beneath its 700-foot rock ceiling.
This fully accessible trail is just one of many state park facilities which have been improved in recent years to enable all visitors to enjoy the scenic treasures preserved in Ohio's state parks.
