Pool use is available to camping and cottage guests only, and visitors of our guests may also use the pool for a small visitor's fee. |
Weddings
Congratulations on your
engagement!
Weddings at
the park are allowed but unless you reserve a shelter house, you cannot
reserve a public area such as the covered bridge or the Gorge Overlook
(another popular spot for weddings). We have had many weddings in the
park:
At the Covered Bridge area, people have had their weddings in the picnic area that is beside/below the Covered Bridge area, using the covered bridge as a backdrop. There is plenty of parking there, but no shelter in case of bad weather. There are picnic tables and waist-high charcoal grills. It is right beside the river. This is a beautiful area but cannot be reserved, so you would have to try to use it on a first-come, first-serve basis.
That goes for the Gorge Overlook area also. The Gorge Overlook area faces out onto the Clearfork Gorge with a beautiful vista of the Mohican Forest and the river way down below. It does have a small shelter house across the road that you can reserve; it seats a little less than 50 people and has no electric and no water. There are no flush-toilet bathrooms in this area, nor at the covered bridge area, although both areas have pit-type latrines.
The North Park Shelter house was used a couple times this year for weddings. Its attraction is that it is out of the way somewhat so you don’t have as much public traffic in and out of the area. It can also be reserved, seats close to 75 people, but has no electric nor water and has pit-type latrines. It has plenty of room for the games you would want to bring.
The third Shelter house is in the Class A Camp area. It has electric, is close to flush-toilet bathrooms and drinking water, has a nice little playground area and plenty of room for the games. It seats 100 people.
All three Shelter houses can each be reserved for $50 per day by calling the Ohio State Park's reservation system at 1-866-644-6727 or at visit www.ohiostateparks.org.
Please note:
Park and Pack camping and Horse camp is arranged through the
Division of Forestry. For more information or to make reservations,

Mohican-Memorial State Forest web page or call 330-339-2205.
