As others suggested, arrive at the visitor's center early - it gets crowded later in the day. I suggest checking out the Rock House and Conkles Hollow in the afternoon as they are usually less crowded.
Start early at the Visitors Center, see Old Man's Cave and surrounds, then drive or hike to Ash, Cedar Falls, et al. The main VC parking lot will get much busier as the day goes on.
Parking has lot of space still it got full , I would say earlier better
The GPS to Old Man's Cave parking lot is here: 39.437222, -82.539629. I would, however, look up each of the 7 different hiking areas and find the GPS to each. The lots fill up quickly expecially at Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave and if full, you will need to go to another area and return later. You can find each area here: https://thehockinghills.org/hiking.htm
Get to the welcome center early or it will be hard to find a spot to park then Just follow The signs
Earlier the better...parking np
Each trail has its own parking area. It does fill up fast and it's best if you can get there right when it opens.
At the welcome center, wasn't busy. You'll love it
We went hiking around 10:30 am and it was pretty busy. But not so crowded that we didn't enjoy ourselves.
We parked at the welcome center we went around noon very busy very little parking. Have fun it's beautiful.
The parking lot fills up pretty quickly, so the earlier the better.
I would suggest talking to a ranger when you get to the "old man cave" entrance ,to maybe help Mark the map. We got lost! Thank the lord for the nice mid east gentleman for the lift. Beautiful park. We will be back.
Earlier the better and the welcome center is the best place to go also don't forget to stop and get a map.
Welcome Center. Have an awesome time.
Park by the welcome center. Also get there between 8-8:30am.
There are alot of trails and alot to see. We found parking at old man's cave was very convenient. It's busy mid day so I suggest early in the morning or later in the evening would be a less busy time.
