About the Trail

If you really want to earn that post-ride beer, take on The Whole Chimichanga. This 32-mile route connects all of the trails and routes in the Mohican MTB system, putting your skills, fitness, and endurance to the test.

The Whole Chimichanga starts at the Mohican Lodge on the Osprey Trail, continues through the 30.06 Trail and the entire Mohican MTB Trail loop, and brings you back to the lodge. Along the way, you'll experience just about every feature Mohican has to offer—from roots and rocks to steep climbs, technical sections, and fast, fun descents.

There are plenty of opportunities to stop along the way and take in the scenery, including several scenic overlooks throughout the state park. The route also takes you past the main campground, where you can stop at the visitor center to refill your water bottle or grab a snack at the camp store.

Route note: The lodge trails (Osprey and Buzzard), 30.06, and miles 1–8 are bidirectional. Follow posted trail signage and be aware of other riders.

Here’s a light polish that keeps the original tone and information, while cleaning up the flow and the list formatting:

Bailout Points

If the whole Chimichange proves to be more than you bargained for, there are several bailout options along the route. These access points connect to paved park roads, allowing 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:

  • Pleasant Hill Dam

  • Covered Bridge — Mile 10.5

  • Park Road — Mile 12.5

  • Sno-Mo Trailhead

  • Park Road — Mile 19.5

  • Main Campground

  • Mile 8

Shuttling is also an option for riders who want to tackle a portion of the route without committing to the full mileage.

After your adventure, plan to grab some food and drinks at the lodge or in nearby Loudonville. You’ll have earned it!
