Located outside of Chillicothe, around 2 hours out of Cincinnati, Tar Hollow state park and the surrounding state forest offers a wide variety of outdoor activities. Just far enough away to make a weekend trip, but still close enough to make it a day trip, this park offers topography that you just cannot find in the Cincinnati Tri-State area.
One of the best features of this park is their Logan Trail. Totaling 21 miles, this trail is split into the north and south loops. Pick one loop to make a great day hike, or hike both with a pack for a great, secluded overnight trip. A total of five primitive campsites are located at the fire tower, which is the connecting point for the north and south loops.
Other trails are located at the park, the Ross Hollow trail which loops around the ridge above the campground, totals 3.5 miles. Also, a section of the Buckeye Trail runs through the park, which is one of the toughest sections of the trail. Steep, steep hills in this park. Definitely worth the drive!
