Union Furnace blends quiet, country living with access to big-nature experiences and everyday conveniences. Tucked into Hocking County and just minutes from Logan and a straight shot to Nelsonville, it places you at the doorstep of some of the Midwest’s most celebrated landscapes. Weekends can be spent tracing waterfalls and sandstone gorges at Hocking Hills State Park, cared for by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, or paddling and picnicking at the serene Lake Logan State Park. Even more acreage opens up in the nearby Wayne National Forest, where trail networks welcome hikers, bikers, equestrians, and off-road enthusiasts.
Families appreciate the Logan-Hocking Local School District, which includes Union Furnace Elementary and pathways to robust arts, athletics, and career-tech offerings across the district. Lifelong learners and book lovers tap into programming through the Hocking County District Library, while history buffs and railfans hop aboard the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway for scenic rides through the Hocking River Valley. For continuing education and cultural events, Ohio University is an easy commute.
Housing here ranges from wooded acreage and cabins to tidy single-family homes, and quick access to the US-33 corridor makes daily travel simple. Whether you’re dreaming of a year-round retreat or planting deeper roots, local expertise goes a long way.
