Zach's doing this whole marriage thing again — so naturally, we're sending him off again. Camping under the stars. Rafting lazy rivers all day. updated Hiking through ancient gorges. No Wi-Fi. No wedding planning. Just the boys and the wilderness.
Tent camping, fire pits, and stargazing. Real camping — not glamping. The way Zach would want it.
Raft the river all day — coolers, beers, and zero effort. Deep enough to swim, lazy enough that nobody has an excuse to sit out.
Campfire nights, cold ones, stories about Zach's worst decisions (including marriage #1), and maybe a few surprises. What happens in Hocking Hills stays in Hocking Hills.
Lakefront tent sites with swimming beach. Raft launch right from camp. Showers and restrooms on-site.
The classic. Walk to Old Man's Cave and Cedar Falls from camp. Creek wading, restrooms, camp store.
Quieter, more secluded. Sandy beach area on the Hocking River. Boat ramp, swimming. True backcountry feel.
Class I-II rapids. Perfect for all skill levels.
Short 1-2 hour shakeout run after camp setup. Get on the water, crack a cold one, ease into the weekend.
The main event: 6-8 hours on the river. Rafts loaded with food, drinks, and a speaker. Swim stops along the way.
Easy 1-2 hour morning run to the takeout point. Soak up the last stretch before heading home by noon.
The signature trail. Upper and Lower Falls, gorge carved by Queer Creek, and the namesake cave shelter.
Largest recess cave in Ohio — 700ft horseshoe with a 90ft waterfall. Flat, paved, wheelchair accessible.
Beautiful waterfall tucked in a hemlock gorge. Connected to Old Man's Cave via the Grandma Gatewood Trail.
Most dramatic views in the park. Sheer cliff edges, 200ft deep gorge. Not for those afraid of heights.
Ohio's only true cave in non-ite bearing rock. Tunnel-like corridor with window openings 25ft up in the cliff.
Tradition says we cover Zach. Larger group = lower per-person cost. With 6+ guys splitting everything, this is cheaper than a night downtown.
Zach liked marriage so much he's doing it twice. Camp sites book fast — we need headcount to lock in reservations and split costs. Don't be the guy who missed this.
