Where the Waterfalls Are
Loudonville sits in or near the Hocking Hills and the Mohican Country area of Ohio. Southeast and central Ohio offer a different look: sandstone gorges, recess caves and hemlock-shaded ravines in hill country that lies at or beyond the glacial boundary. In the Hocking Hills near Logan, Cedar Falls pours into a shallow pool framed by cliffs and grottos carved in Blackhand sandstone. Ashland County's falls, near Loudonville, lie in the Mohican area, where the Clear Fork of the Mohican River runs through a forested gorge. Grove Falls in Knox County and a fall in Tuscarawas County round out this group. These falls tend to be modest in volume, heavily shaded and at their best after soaking rains.
