“Hocking Hills State Park is a lesser-known delight during the fall season. As the foliage turns to rich shades of red, orange, and gold, the park’s varied terrain, from gorges to waterfalls, is accentuated by this colorful canvas. The natural beauty of the park, often overshadowed by more popular destinations, provides a tranquil and stunning setting that truly celebrates the essence of fall.”
Other Ohio locations cited within the survey were Mohican State Forest in Perrysville (No. 12) and Shawnee State Park in West Portsmouth (No. 89). Sterling Forest State Park in New York ranked No. 1.
