Mohican State Park

1 of 3

In the middle of the 4,500-acre Mohican Memorial State Forest, Mohican State Park is a stunningly lovely portion of northeastern Ohio. It is home to some of Ohio's most distinctive natural beauties, such as a massive hemlock forest, stunning river vistas, and two of Ohio's most magnificent waterfalls, Big Lyons and Little Lyons. A two-mile circle trip along the 300-foot-deep Clear Fork Gorge leads hikers to these foggy falls.

Big Lyons falls 80 feet into the gorge, and you may explore the cave below the falls. Little Lyons is a little shorter, but it's just as stunning (especially from above). The falls are most magnificent after heavy rain when the pouring waters are much more impressive.

Visitors may also canoe, kayak, and tube down the Clear Fork River, which is stocked with brown trout for fishing.
