Rock House Gorge Trail
In the middle of the trail is the rock house - a cave that's about 15-20 feet deep and about 200 feet long. The cave has large openings facing outward from the cliff side so you can enter it in various points along this trail.
It's definitely a unique trail and a must-visit at Hocking Hills State Park if you're in the area.
Pets are not allowed on this trail.
