Hog Hollow Trail is a 4.1-mile out-and-back hike in Mohican-Memorial State Forest in Ohio, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail rises steadily from a low point of 977 feet to a high of 1,348 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,126 feet over the round trip. The climb is moderate, and the steepest stretch comes at about 1.2 miles in, where the grade reaches 16 percent. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danville show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year.
