A seasonal waterfall that drops roughly 90 feet from the rim of Ash Cave, the largest recess cave east of the Mississippi. The paved lower gorge trail to the cave is about a half-mile each way, with a steeper rim loop returning from above.
At 90 ft, it stands above roughly 67% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Ash Cave Falls sits on East Fork Queer Creek. You'll find it in Hocking, Ohio. It is protected within Hocking Hills State Park (Ohio DNR).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of South Bloomingville, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (after rain or snowmelt). Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
