About Highlands Nature Sanctuary
The Highlands Nature Sanctuary is 2200-acre hiking and nature education destination in southern Ohio, managed by the Arc of Appalachia in the heart of the scenic Rocky Fork Gorge, a 100-foot high steep-walled canyon renowned for its stunning rock formations, ancient white cedars, spectacular wildflower displays, grottos, springs, and stone arches.

The Appalachian Forest Museum. Open free to the public on weekends from April through October, the Appalachian Forest Museum features large artistic murals depicting the world significance of our backyard forests for those of us living anywhere in the Eastern third of the United States. The Museum strives to raise our appreciation for America’s Great Eastern Forest and the many ways our “home-sweet-biome” influences and inspires our lives.

Scenic Hiking Trails. The Appalachian Forest Museum serves as the trailhead for three beautiful loop trails, also open on weekends from April through October. Two of the trails wind into the Rocky Fork Gorge, offering splendid views of the geological scenery of the region, and a third trail leads into a towering old-growth beech forest.
