About This Trail
A 2.9-mile trail descending into the largest and most heavily wooded ravine at Highbanks Metro Park north of Columbus. The namesake Dripping Rock, where water seeps through sandstone creating a perpetually wet micro-ecosystem of mosses and ferns, anchors the route through shale ledges and stream corridors above the Olentangy River.
