A scenic view of Rockbridge with waterfall at Rockbridge State Nature Preserve in Hocking County, Ohio. The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen in 1973. The Natural Arch and Bridge Society defines a natural arch as �a rock exposure that has a hole completely through it formed by the natural, selective removal of rock, leaving a relatively intact frame.� At 92 feet Rockbridge is Ohio's longest natural bridge. The bridge originated as a typical Hocking Hills alcove carved into the soft middle layer of Black Hand Sandstone at the head of a short box canyon cut by a small tributary of the Hocking River. Three intersecting vertical fractures in the roof of the shelter were gradually enlarged until the block they surrounded...
The Lower Falls at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Downstream from Old Man's Cave, Old Man's Creek encounters the resistant lowermost zone of the Black Hand Sandstone and cascades into a broad plunge pool as a scenic waterfall known as the Lower Falls. A large rock shelter is developed behind the waterfall. At the base of the rock shelter the contact between the Fairfield Shale and the Black Hand Sandstone Members of the Cuyahoga Formation can be seen. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. This photograph was an entry in the 1983 Ohio Geology Slide Contest.
Trails leading through the Lower Gorge come to Queer Creek and eventually to Cedar Falls at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Cedar Falls is a semi-circular cliff over which Cedar Creek flows to form a waterfall, 50 feet in height. Behind the falls is a small recess cave formed by the sapping action of the plunge pool. The face of the waterfall is crossed by two deep grooves, formed by the abrasive action of small sand particles, through which the water flows. The rim of Cedar Falls is composed of the hard, massive upper layer of the Black Hand Sandstone. Two joint fractures are readily visible in the upper zone

An outcrop of the Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation that forms Ash Cave at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Ash Cave is the most impressive in size of the many rock shelter caves in the Hocking Hills State Park area. The reentrant is 100 feet deep and 500 feet long. The rim is about 90 feet above the valley floor. A small waterfall flows along a small joint in the rim of the rock shelter and forms a well-developed plunge pool. Much of the margin of Ash Cave is formed by a large joint that follows the valley formed by a tributary of the East Fork of Queer Creek. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. The photograph was taken by George W. White in 1945.

The Blue Hen Falls near Boston, Summit County, Ohio. The falls is in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
