Mohican State Park Postcards

Mohican State Park is one of my favorite places in Ohio, especially in the fall. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it down there yet to see how the autumn colors are playing out. They may have already peaked.

At least we can always pay an armchair visit and enjoy the sights by looking at some vintage postcards. There are a lot of them on eBay, and they often feature autumn scenes.

This one is identified on the back as “The Hills in Autumn – Mohican Forest, Ohio”

Here’s a pretty old one of the view from the well-known Gorge Lookout.

Here’s one of the park’s “25 completely furnished modern cabins."

This postcard of the Mohican State Park Commissary notes that it is located in the Class A camping area on Rt. 3 near Rt. 97.

A trip over the Covered Bridge over Clear Fork Creek is a highlight of any park visit. The bridge was completed in 1969.

The Memorial Shrine has been the topic on this blog a few times, including two “Then and Now” photo treatments.

Lastly, a weekend at the Mohican State Park Lodge just can’t be beat. The surroundings are beautiful, the accommodations are great and the food is good, too. There always seems to be nature programs to entertain the guests and a cozy fireplace in the lobby makes it the perfect place to hang out after a day of hiking at the park. I’ve spent many weekends there over the years.
