From Logan, Head West on Rt. 664. Before you get to the Old Mans Cave Visitor Center, you will turn left onto Rt. 374. You will then take the first left onto Nihiser Rd. and use the shared parking lot for the Mountain Bike Trails, and Hocking Hills Walk In Camping Sites (Hocking Hills Walk In Camping Sites can be found on google maps).
June 2022 - The intermediate trail is now in terrible condition. It does not appear that any trail maintenance is being performed. There are multiple large trees that have fallen across the trail and are blocking it. Some are small enough to bunny hop but most are large enough that the bike must be lifted over them. Trying to ride it was an exercise in frustration. Did not even try the advanced trail.
| ThankThe trail is laid out decent. There are some good hills both up and down on the orange loop and if you are not a experienced climber expect to hike a bike in both directions on this one.
| ThankThe purple loop is pretty mild with some exposed roots being the only challenge. A couple short punchy climbs but they pose no problem. The trails are pretty flowy with roots and rocks making for a slightly flow/tech feel. Overall a good ride if you are in the area.
A mostly abandoned trail. Looks like it was once loved and used often. the main trail still exists, but it's begining to get overgrown and the trail is slowly being reclaimed by nature. It's a fairly fast moving trail but there are a lot of roots which makes it difficult to maintain a good line and speed. You'll most likely have the trail all to yourself if you decide to explore it.
