We went backpacking and really loved it here. The pine trees leaving a soft needle trail and the ferns scattered through the forest were the best part of the trip. Trail was not super busy. Our site was clean and we were pretty happy to have a fire pit to use. We saw online that the markers for backpacking are hard to follow and that is true. We would have gotten lost several times without our GPS and app.
(Not the best picture, but we really don't stop much when we backpack)
Beautiful place to hike with a lot of interesting natural formations. The paths were fairly easy to navigate. Parking was ample and well maintained.
You can't get a bad season here. The rocks, trees, and river make this place a nature lover's paradise. It even has a trickle of a waterfall. The whole park is beautiful. It has several trails that are suitable for energetic kids of all ages. Definitely worth visiting!
Mohican State Park has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My grown kids and my not so grown kid all love to day trip or even better, go camping here. The campgrounds are very nice, well maintained and the staff is great. We've made so many memories hiking, camping, tubing, picnicking, and just driving through to enjoy the view. Fall of course is our favorite, but all seasons have their beauty.
This was my first visit to Mohican State Park. I will be going back. In the fall, there may be no better place in the Midwest to see autumn colors. It’s a wonderful park in a beautiful section of Ohio. perhaps I should add that I found Mohican an entirely more enjoyable visit than my one time visiting Hocking Hills. Mohican is a beautiful parks in a beautiful section of the Midwest. Hocking Hills is basically a one hit wonder with a waterfall and a cavern but not much else.
