Located in northeastern Ohio, the 1,110-acre Mohican State Park and the adjacent 4,525-acre state forest offer outstanding opportunities for visitors to explore one of Ohio’s most stunning natural regions. Those partaking in Mohican State Park camping can truly experience the wilderness, venturing through the hemlock forest to take in the striking views offered by the Clear Fork Gorge and fish-laden Clear Fork River. Hikers and mountain bikers can enjoy a challenge on the acclaimed 25-mile trail and relax in the evening at the luxurious Mohican State Park campground lodge or cabins along the meandering river.
Spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon here with my family. We completed the Gorge Overlook Trail. Just to add, in my opinion, DO NOT attempt this trail if you have small kids or knee trouble. The decline/incline is significant. Otherwise, it’s absolutely gorgeous here.
I recently visited a state park, and it was a nature lover's paradise. The hiking trails were a highlight, offering a variety of terrains to explore. Along the way, I encountered a picturesque river stream that added to the charm of the park.
The scenic views were breathtaking, with lush greenery, towering trees, and glimpses of wildlife. It was a photographer's dream, and I couldn't resist capturing the beauty around me.
What made this park even more enjoyable was the soothing sound of the river stream as I hiked. It provided a serene backdrop to my outdoor adventure.
In conclusion, this state park is a hiker's haven, complete with a tranquil river stream and stunning scenic views. If you're seeking a nature escape, I highly recommend a visit. It's a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor exploration.
The falls were neat. River trail though was pretty advanced and quite a few spots you can fall if you are not careful. Even so, really neat views and there are cool spots they have with a spot to stick a camera or phone and set a timer for a picture.
Had just a great time hiking through the St Park yesterday, 12/28. Low trail surfaces are muddy, but manageable (hiking boots, please). Some people traffic, but still plenty of time alone in the forest. Plenty of terrain variation if you want a workout. Looking forward to going back.
Mohican Gorge Loop trail is a very fun 1.8 mile loop. Tons of elevation change. From the parking lot I went to the left and it's 10-15 min of switchbacks to get you down to the bottom of the gorge and takes you along Clear Fork River. I did some rock hounding along the banks. Continuing on the loop you come to the new cable bridge. It's fun to cross, swings and stays a bit. When you cross the cable bridge it connects you to a longer trail (map sign is right there) but I didn't have time for a different trail today. Next time for sure. I went back over the cable bridge and continued on the gorge loop trail. You pretty quickly start the ascent back to the parking lot and it is NO JOKE! Very steep incline and climb. Some helpful steps have been installed and one portion you have to climb a ladder! Very cool and great exercise. There are 2 nice restrooms, and overlook viewing areas. Also a nice area w picnic tables and a grill. I can't wait to go back and do more exploring.
