Mohican in the fall is transformed into a new landscape of reds, yellows and oranges.

                        

In the fall the leaves transform the hills of Mohican into a brand-new landscape of reds, yellows and oranges. Local farmers’ markets have pumpkins, mums and more. Visitors are amazed at the view of the Clearfork Gorge Overlook as it changes to a sea of color each day.

People can float down the Mohican State Scenic River under an arbor of color. Some of the canoe liveries are open through October.

Stay in a treehouse, castle, resort, inn, historic bed and breakfast, or a choice of one of many private cabins. Several of the private cabins or cottages have hot tubs and spectacular views, all the amenities of home, and some are even pet-friendly.

The 28th Mohican Bluegrass Festival will return to Mohican Wilderness Campground Sept. 12-14. This is a family-friendly event that takes place in the Mohican River. Performances include the Open Highway, The Hillbilly Gypsies, The Cleverlys and more.

Sept. 28 is the annual Oktoberfest at Wolf Creek Grist Mill with 100 varieties of domestic and international beer and wine to support fundraising efforts for Wolf Creek Grist Mill Historic Park & Museum. Live music, games, food and more will take place.

Free busing is offered to and from the event for patrons staying at any of the following sponsorship lodging locations: Red Window Townhouse, Mohican Adventures, Wally World Riverside Resort, Arrow Point Campgrounds Inc., Mohican Little Brown Inn, Blackfork Marken Inn Bed & Breakfast, and the Mohican State Park Campground.

Oct. 13-27 in Mohican is the Fall Foliage Drive-It-Yourself Tour. Take a leisurely drive through the Mohican State Park and the Mohican Memorial State Forest during the peak of the season. Hike or bike the trails and enjoy nature as the trees and wildlife get ready for winter. Then enjoy time at the restaurants and independent stores.

October also brings in ghost enthusiasts at Landoll’s Mohican Castle. Throughout the year they offer public ghost walks. These walks take one through the history of the property. For those wanting to go more in-depth, ask about the possibility of a ghost hunt. This will take several hours and permits visitors to conduct a paranormal investigation.

During November and December, make sure to plan an individualized adventure in Mohican. Fishing, outdoor sports and more occur all year long. Hiking trails are open to the public year round at the Mohican State Park. Skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing are available at nearby Snow Trails Ski Resort.
