About the Trail
The full loop will test your strength, stamina, and grit. The first 8 miles are bidirectional, with the trail becoming one-way after that. The first mile or so features a steady climb, followed by a couple of rock gardens that set the tone for the adventure ahead.
You’ll experience everything Mohican mountain biking has to offer throughout the full loop—from technical terrain and challenging climbs to rewarding downhill descents and a few sections of flow. There are plenty of spots to take a break, catch your breath, and soak in the scenery along the way.
Expect steep climbs during the first couple of miles, immediately after the bridge, and again as you approach mile marker 20. The payoff comes in the form of plenty of downhill riding and several stretches of fast, flowing trail.
Bailout Points
If the full loop proves to be more than you bargained for, there are several bailout options along the route. These access points connect to paved park roads and allow you to shorten the ride and return toward your starting point. Keep in mind that leaving the trail does not necessarily mean an easy ride back—there may still be some climbing on the paved roads.
Bailout points are located approximately at:
Mile 8
Covered Bridge — Mile 10.5
Park Road — Mile 12.5
Sno-Mo Trailhead
Park Road — Mile 19.5
Shuttling is also an option for riders who want to tackle a portion of the route without committing to the full loop.
Plan to grab some food and drinks after your half-day adventure at the campground or in nearby Loudonville. You’ll have earned it!
