The person was believed to be walking off the trail near the main waterfall, ODNR spokeswoman Stephanie O’Grady said Thursday.
A camper found the person at the bottom of the cliff just before 6 p.m. Wednesday. Natural resources officers were called and the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and no other information is available at this time. The identification will come from the county coroner’s office.
Cantwell Cliffs is located in the northern reaches of Hocking Hills, about 17 miles north of Old Man’s Cave.
