Ash Cave Falls is a 300-foot seasonal waterfall in Hocking State Park in southeastern Ohio.

The waterfall only runs in spring after the rains, plummeting dramatically over the rim of the most significant recess cave in the state and is best seen in April as it freezes into an ice column in the winter.

The falls cascade from the rim of Ash Cave, a 700-foot-long horseshoe-shaped recess cave that is 100 feet deep and 90 feet high, and was named for the fact that early settlers found huge piles of ash left behind by the Native Americans.

Even if there is no water flowing over the rim, Ash Cave is an impressive sight and worth a visit.
