Geology

Clear Creek is located within the Hocking Hills region of Ohio, with gorges and bluffs formed by the Blackhand sandstone. Because it is farther west than most other lands within the region, the erosion-resistant sandstone occurs at higher elevations.

Activities

Clear Creek offers many activities, including hiking, picnicking, canoeing, fishing, nature programs, and a pet trail.
