Living in Mohican

July 9, 2013

We’re constantly being asked by guests what it’s like to live here in the beautiful Mohican area. Some are questioning whether we actually have fun & excitement in an area known so well for relaxing, while most are dreaming of what it would be like to live the Mohican-life day by day. To answer their question – we have all the relaxation AND excitement anyone could desire, right here in our own backyard!

Our life is blessed with the Mohican State Park and Mohican Memorial Forest being right outside our doorstep. There is so much to do here – and for FREE! Growing up here, these beautiful places always gave us a place to explore with friends or go on a cheap date that was much more adventurous than dinner and a movie. My favorite places to visit are the Gorge Overlook, Fire Tower, and Covered Bridge. All these places offer great views, unique hiking trails, and a spot to just sit & relax at. The Memorial Shrine is a solemn place to visit but offers visitors a feeling of standing in greatness. There is also the Grist Mill to check out, which offers great area events frequently throughout the year that are always full of fun, entertainment, & friends!

The area is also well known for our canoe liveries and river trips. The Mohican River is classified as a State Scenic River, and it definitely deserves its recognition! Most of the locals prefer taking a river trip during the week, when the river is a little quieter and you can spend your time looking for wildlife or sleeping the day away floating in a tube. Others prefer splashing and racing downstream with the weekend crowd. Also offered here at Mohican Adventures is 3 mini golf courses and 2 go-kart tracks. In the area, we often take advantage of the local Zip-Line tour, horseback riding, and the wonderful shops in town. As you can see, there’s a lot to do here that adds adventure into our relaxed lives.
