A view down the gorge of the Hocking river after it passes by the grist mill. Rock Mill Park encompasses the historic Rock Mill, a stunning grist mill built in 1824 above the Hocking River Falls and the scenic Rock Mill Covered Bridge, constructed in 1901. Standing 90 feet above the gorge of the falls, Rock Mill was one of a dozen mills in the area whose power source was the Hocking River. The mill was in operation grinding flour and corn into wheat and meal as late at 1905.

Lockville Canal Park is a 7 acre green space that contains three intact locks that once made up part of the central section of the Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile highway of water that connected Lake Erie at Cleveland to the Ohio River at Portsmouth. Construction on the locks began on July 4th, 1825 and took over seven years to complete. The canal system propelled Ohio's economy from last in the nation to nearly first in just a few years.

Seen in the background is Hartman Number 2 Covered Bridge, a late nineteenth-century covered bridge featuring a queenpost truss, shake roofing and red plank siding.
A pillowy sea of white created by a cluster of flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) brightens a twilight hike through Chestnut Ridge Metropark. The true flowers are actually the tiny greenish-yellow clusters in the middle of the showy white bracts.

The rooms were definitely not very clean at all. They look like they had been renovated but not kept up. We originally book a king suite(2 room suite) and were told they only have one of them and it was "out of order" due to a water leak. They didn't tell us this until they had already checked us ...

Great cabin. Plenty of room for our group. The cabin was clean and well-stocked. The hot tub, pool table, firepit and board games all made for a fun time. The location was good also, not too far from some great hiking. Would stay here again.
