The  Little Rocky Hollow State Nature Preserve is a tiny 256 acre nature preserve in Ohio. The physical address is 17440 Kreashbaum Rd, in Rockbridge, Ohio. Entrance to the Little Rocky Hollow State Nature Preserve will require a permit, however it is easy to obtain. you can do so by clicking here.

The preserve may only be 256 acres however I hiked well over 7 miles exploring the area. There is one main access trail to enter the park, after that just follow the creek past waterfall after waterfall. I counted at least 6 significant waterfalls and several other smaller falls.

As mentioned above the Little Rocky Hollow State Nature Preserve requires a permit to hike and explore the area. However,  the permit gives you up to a 10-day window to visit, so take advantage of this and plan your trip at the best possible time!

Trails aren’t well marked in the area so plan on doing a little bit of bushwacking as you explore that preserve. The area has numerous hollows to explore and each one is special in its own way, so allow yourself ample time to visit.

As is the case with most Southern Ohio waterfalls, they  can dry up pretty quick, so plan your visit after a good rainfall. Little Rocky Hollow State Nature Preserve is absolutely beautiful even when the falls dry up.
