Logan is where you go for groceries, gas, and a real restaurant meal after a day on the trails. It's the closest thing to a town center in the Hocking Hills region, with the widest range of price points — from $59/night hotels to full cabin rentals. About 12 miles north of Old Man's Cave on SR-664.
Hotels like Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites earn 9.4 ratings and run $59–$250/night — significantly less than cabin rates.
Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and gas stations. The last reliable stop before heading into the hills.
A 400-acre lake with a 527-foot swimming beach, boat rentals, and excellent fishing — the primary swimming alternative since the state park bans swimming.
Millstone BBQ, Hungry Buffalo (bison burgers), and a growing food scene serve as the region's culinary center.
Logan is ideal if you're visiting on a budget or prefer hotel-style amenities. It adds 15–20 minutes of drive time to the main trailheads but saves significantly on nightly rates.
