the American General, who was chosen in 1792 to rid the Ohio
and Indiana frontiers of Indian tribes in order to open the
area for American settlement. He led the American army, who
fought against the famed warrior "Tecumseh" and defeated the
Shawnee at Fallen Timbers. The stunning surroundings of the

Clear Creek, a part of the Metro Park's system is
special for geologic research, and findings. The deep beauty
of the Clear Creek valley comes from the overlap of geologic
and climate zones. The nature of the park is rugged, and has
many steep ravines and deep gorges, and breath taking cliff
and rock formation's. Over 1200 plants, flowers and species
have made there home at Clear Creek. Beautiful surroundings
are not all that Clear Creek has to offer, as hunting,
fishing, hiking, canoeing, pet trails, fishing and
nature programs.
As we move toward the West end of the hills, the most
popular of all the Hocking Hills region, is
Old Man's Cave.
Located on St. Rt. 664. Old Man's Cave was named
after a Civil War-era hermit, named Richard Rowe, who lived in
the gorges of the caves. For Native American Indians, Old
Man's Cave is a sacred place. Many of the Ohio tribes, Mingo,
Delaware, Shawnee, and Wyandot Indians, lived in the area and
gathered here to council on protecting their homelands against
outside forces. Old Man's Cave features deep falling
waterfalls, swimming pools, incredible cliff and rock
formation's and hiking trails. Old Man's Cave can be divided
into five parts. This makes it easier for hikers and
adventurer's to select a designated area and travel to each
one.
Cantwell Cliff's
is located 17 miles from Old Man's Cave, on St. Rt. 374. It's
location is discrete and not many know it's there, but those
who travel the extra mile say it's worth the effort. Cantwell
Cliff's is exactly how it sounds, with very narrow gorges of
rock formation's that have been forming for hundreds of years.
Small and narrow walk ways that take you through the inns and
outs of the cave. Water fountains are accessible, and picnic
area's are located in the front entrance across from the
parking lot.
Ash
Cave is also a common
spot for travelers. Ash Cave has a variety of caves, but is
the largest recess cave in Ohio. The rim of the cave spreads
it's self over 700 feet around a delicate sandstone horseshoe,
while just beneath a waterfall dumps it's wrath 90 feet onto
the slate rock floor below. Picnic area's are adjacent to the
parking lot and are wheel chair accessible. Other caves in
this area are Cedar Falls and Rock House. Both are astounding
in beauty and marvelous rock formations and narrow tunnels
that lead to deep depths of the cave.
Burr Oak is
the conclusion of this tour through our scenic wonderland.
Burr Oak is
located in southeast Ohio. Secluded in a quiet
surrounding, Burr Oak State Park has a rural setting away from
the main tourism areas to the north. Burr oak has a wide
array of traveling for hikers, and peaceful cottages for
