Located in a rapidly growing area of Liberty and Orange townships, Shale Hollow Park is named for the curve in the tributary to the Olentangy State Scenic River that runs through the park, and for the shale evident in the cliff walls and stream bed.The Shale Hollow stream winds along a twisting corridor consisting of 20 to 40-foot-tall shale cliffs and a stream bed. You can see many remnants of concretions (round rock formations) in the cliffs and along the stream bed. There are also intermittent waterfalls in the park.Visitors will see a mature white oak forest in the eastern half of the park, along with large stands of hickory and maple. Spring wildflowers include the large white trillium, blue cohosh, and yellow-trout lily.
