Rose Lake, Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rose Lake

Rose Lake is located just outside of Old Man's Cave, in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio; And is considered a part of the Hocking Hills State Park.

It is accessed via the crossing of the Old Man's Cave gorge and following the signs. (About a 3 mile hike.) There is no direct road access, though a shortcut may be found via a trail from a primitive campground which borders the lake.

Rose Lake is the approximate mid-point of a trail between Old Man's Cave and Cedar Falls. Specifically, it is found on the Upper Gorge Trail.

Rose Lake was formed via the creation of a dam. According to local legend the lake is haunted. Since the park which it is a part of closes at dusk, investigation of said claims is limited to those wishing to stay in the primitive campground, or whom venture in during the day. Regardless, the details, in brief, involve a mother who was looking for her lost child after dark and proceeded to fall off a cliff.

Another "haunting" tail involves the demise of a man who comitted suicide in the lake. Fishermen are said to see underwater lights, or a pacing figure on the shore whom disappears.
