About this city
Also known as: Gateway to the Hocking Hills
South Bloomingville is a rustic, pristine mountain foothills hamlet nestled deep within the dramatic, heavily forested limestone ravines of Hocking County in southeastern Ohio. Positioned flatly along the winding headwaters of Salt Creek, the community serves for generations as the absolute immediate geographic gateway and strategic staging base camp for the legendary Hocking Hills State Park. Surrounded by towering hemlock canopies, ancient recessed caves, and cascading waterfalls, South Bloomingville offers outdoor enthusiasts an unmatched off-grid sanctuary centered around raw geologic wonders.
