Hiking - Old Man’s Cave

We camped at Silver Spring Campground of Stow, ohio. It was a small campground. We only had electric hookup. Our spot was ideal - at the corner of the campground, surrounded by trees. The owner was very attentive and drove around at least 4-5 times a day.




Today we started out from our campsite and walked through the campground to old mann caves Trail. From the campground it’s a steep walk downhill into the ravine where the majority of the hike is. This is a fantastic hike through the ravine with the steep wall cliffs on either side although you can’t always see them because of the tall hemlock trees and pine trees. The hollow moist air allows these northern type trees to grow here. The rocks are made of sandstone and various geological formations. The percolating groundwater formed The hallows and caves in this area. As we left early we passed very few people on the trail which was nice again. The trail was one way and we can see how this would be a benefit on a busy day or a holiday. I know this trail is called old man caves Trail, but I’m going to nickname it the bridge Trail as there were several different bridges of different architectural styles. It was another gorgeous walk and I would say Ohio has done it right with their parks.
