Clear Fork Gorge Scenic Overlook offers dramatic views of the Clear Fork of the Mohican River from two stone decks and was constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of an area designated a Registered National Natural Landmark. The Mohican Fire Tower in the state forest stands 80 feet tall and, when built in 1934, provided a lookout for spotting fires up to ten miles away. Pleasant Hill Dam, dedicated in 1938 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a 113-foot-tall earth-filled dam built for flood protection that created the 850-acre Pleasant Hill Lake. The Swinging Bridge spans the Clear Fork of the Mohican River and connects the Gorge Overlook and Hemlock Gorge trails. Big Lyons Falls is an 80-foot waterfall especially notable in spring or after heavy rainfall. Wolf Creek Grist Mill, originally built in 1831 north of Loudonville and relocated to Mohican State Park in 1971, used waterpower to grind corn, oats, and wheat into flour. The Mohican-Memorial Shrine in the state forest, built in 1947, is Ohio's official monument honoring nearly 20,000 Ohioans who died in military conflicts since World War II. A covered bridge across the Clear Fork of the Mohican River, constructed in 1968, carries pedestrians and vehicles and offers views downstream from Pleasant Hill Dam. Vista Point is a scenic overlook near the Group Camp.
