Mohican
Overview
Set against the backdrop of one of Ohio’s most scenic regions, Mohican provides a gateway to outdoor adventure in Loudonville. The park is nestled within thousands of acres of lush forest, offering a blend of modern convenience and rugged natural beauty. It serves as a primary hub for travelers looking to explore the Clear Fork Gorge and the surrounding Mohican-Memorial State Forest, making it a staple destination for regional RV enthusiasts seeking fresh air.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of Loudonville, often celebrated as the Canoe Capital of Ohio, the area is defined by the winding Mohican River. The landscape transitions from rolling farmland to deep, hemlock-lined ravines. This unique geography creates a microclimate that feels significantly different from the rest of the state, providing a secluded woodland escape that remains easily accessible from major Ohio cities like Cleveland and Columbus.
Amenities & Park Features
Visitors can expect a range of site options, from primitive spots to those with full hookups and 50-amp service. The park includes well-maintained bathhouses, a dump station, and a seasonal swimming pool for guests to enjoy. For those traveling with families, the presence of a playground and easy access to the river for fishing or wading makes the stay comfortable. The sites are generally spacious, accommodating a variety of RV sizes within a dense forested canopy.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activity, with over 13 miles of hiking trails leading to highlights like Lyons Falls and the historic scenic Covered Bridge. The river is the main attraction, where local liveries offer canoeing, kayaking, and tubing excursions through the gentle waters. Additionally, the nearby Malabar Farm State Park offers a glimpse into local history and sustainable farming practices just a short drive from the campground.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for active families and nature lovers who enjoy being close to the water. It caters well to those who appreciate a mix of structured amenities and raw natural scenery. Whether you are an avid hiker looking to tackle the Mohican Mountain Bike Trail or a casual camper wanting to relax by a campfire near the river, the park offers a balanced experience for various travel styles.

We have had numerous family reunions at this state park and enjoyed it every time. It's secluded with beautiful Ohio landscape. The staff at the lodge are very friendly and attentive. The lodge and grounds are beautiful and well maintained . Good food in the restaurant and entrees have large portions. They have a great brunch buffet on the weekends. Outdoor pool and during the summer and year round indoor pool. Also some video games. Hiking trails available in the park, canoeing available thru rental location on Rt 3.

Mohican is surely the gem of Ohio's State Parks. The Lodge and environs are outstanding including indoor and outdoor pools. It offers an outstanding view of the Lake. Outside,within the park,The diversity of terrain including the gorge area and covered bridge offer outstanding views. The Ohio Memorial Forest Shrine is located on rt 97 at an edge of the park. I almost drove past it because it is tucked back off the road. The beauty of the stone building caused me to turn around and go back. This memorial is for the thousands of Ohioans listed by county who gave their lives from World War II to present. The inside is just the impressive stone, printed lists of those who have died in all conflicts. I would guess it is about six miles from the Lodge. A delightful afternoon

Beautiful State Park and Campground. The visitor center is a must see especially if you have children. The sites are amazing and worth the work to see them. If hiking, read the signs for difficultly levels and bring water (you won't want to leave). My favorite part of the campground was how kind all of the staff were.

Wonderful State Park! Hiked from the Pleasant Hill Dam to the Little Lyons Falls, Big Lyons Falls, crossed the covered bridge, and back to the Pleasant Hill Dam. 3 miles total and was very doable with smaller kids. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the park!
