Mohican State Park

This is one of my favorite state parks. It's clean and beautiful, well maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The trails are well kept and nice to use. We stay at the campground when we visit and it's always clean and quiet. The camp store is well stocked and the staff is very helpful with directions and area highlights. The covered bridge area is really nice. We took the trail to the falls but found the falls disappointing. I guess I was expecting more, but the hike there was great. Visit the dam and lake. The lodge was still closed when we were there, but it's a nice drive up there. Mohican is a beautiful area, and even the drive-through is worth the trip. A lot to do in the area during high season.

We stayed in the Cabin Camper #2. Small but functional cabin with a full size bed and a bunk bed, small table for 2, desk area, microwave, mini fridge and freezer. The fire ring had a small grill cooking over it. There was a window unit with heat and ac. My son is 6’4 and could stand comfortably. It’s actually much larger than it looks. Bathrooms are a short walk away. It was very quiet during the week. We enjoyed hearing barred owls around the fire at night. There was a nice playground not far. Very little traffic near the cabin. We enjoyed a family friendly hike to lyons falls that was a short drive from the campground.

We stayed at the Mohican State Park cabins and it was an absolute blast! Beautiful cabins and the river about 25 yards from our porch. We will definitely be going again.

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.

A worthwhile and well-maintained state park with plentiful hikes in middle of Ohio. In between Cleveland and Columbus, Mohican State park offers a calming escape from the happenings of life. Bring binoculars to view variety of birds and the nestling hills.

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.

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.

First time tent camping and tubing here.
The park is beautiful. Immaculate campgrounds! Safe environment.
Tubing was a blast. The cabins look well built and clean. Will try a cabin next time.

Had a great time primitive camping hiking and site-seeing! Be aware that there is NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION. They do have decent wifi up at the main camp grounds. Good place to get away for no electronics allowed retreat!

First time visit the Mohican state park! Great park with multiple walking trails! Visited two waterfalls, but the waterfalls flow so low! The most of trails are shaded in the forest! Not hot at all! One of the trail has some challenges with ladders! So interesting 😊

We use to camp and canoe here as kids. It's been a long time. Still love this place. Had forgotten how many campsites and cabins there are. Glad to have an electric site; freeze warnings tonight. But, the sun feels so good!

Campground was full for Easter weekend in April, WOW. Enjoyed the Lyon Falls trial. Walked it all the way around down over the covered bridge. Took us beginner's about 1.5 hours. River was high and fast so we didn't do much fishing. My only complaint is WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL ITS OK TO PUT THERE DOG IN THE CAMPER, GO TO ANOTHER SITE AND ALLOW IT TO BARK FOR 5 STRAIGHT HOURS?

I stayed in campground B which is great because it's close to several trail heads and cost less. Water does not taste great, but the pit toilets were very clean and practically no smell, even in 85 degree heat. The river was very high as you can see. This was a nice experience because it was not busy. It would be very tight on a busy summer weekend though. I did shower in campground A. They were very clean and they also have a great camp store.

Nice Campsites, many of which back to the creek. There's a Log cabin and nice hiking and bike trails. Close to downtown Loudonville with shops and restaurants. This park is also not far from Amish country.

Hiked from the Mohican Lodge and Conference center to Big/Little Lyon Falls to the covered bridge and back. Trails were a bit muddy, but being bridle trails I wasn’t surprised. It was a great 11.5mi hike. Only time I’ve been to Mohican was to paddle, but hiking is so much more pretty and less crowded than the river. Can’t wait to go back again to check out more trails.

I absolutely love this park! Great time for the entire family. Everything is clean and well maintained. We stayed in the campground and will definitely look into maybe one of the cabins this fall!

We started out at the Big Lyon Falls trailhead, checking out both Little and Big Lyons Falls before making our way down to the covered bridge. We followed the trail along the river out towards the Hemlock Trail Bridge and turned around to get 9 miles. It’s a popular state park.

We visited here to view the 2024 Eclipse! The park was nice and well kept . We enjoyed our visit !

What an amazing Ohio State Park! This was my first time to camp here and my family had a fantastic time! The staff were friendly and very helpful.
This park has so much to do without ever leaving the campground! Hiking, fishing, cabins, mountain biking, swimming pool, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and a very nice camp store that even includes ice cream!
Many of the sites are full hookup. The river runs through the campground. Many sites are situated along the side of the river. But for everyone else, there are many access points to get into the river.
Before you go, but your river tubes on Amazon and save some money!
The sites are a bit small, but I did not feel crowded. I will definitely be back again next year!
