TrekOhio: Hocking Hills State Park, Whispering Cave

This listing is named Whispering Falls; the sources describe the seasonal waterfall of about 105 feet that drizzles from the rim of Whispering Cave, a recess cave nearly 300 feet wide in Hocking Hills State Park, and this is probably the same feature. From the kiosk at the lodge parking lot, follow the Hemlock Bridge Trail. At the signed fork, take the Whispering Cave Trail spur, with stairs down into the cave. A fence marks the end of the trail through the cave. Return the same way, or make the longer loop from Old Man's Cave.
