Mohican Outdoor Center
Blairstown, NJ

Owned by the National Park Service, operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), several cabins on the property are in use. Cabin 1 is small, suitable for a family, not groups. Cabin 2 has a wood-burning stove. Cabin 3 has a fireplace and is my favorite. I have not seen the other cabins. All cabins have bathrooms, and there are showers in the main house.

In addition to the cabins, there are individual and group camp sites.

Catfish Lake is great for swimming and boating (the beavers like it too). There is no roped-off swimming area; you can swim the entire length of the lake. AMC has canoes and kayaks you can use.

There are also many hiking trails, including a section of the Appalachian Trail (AT) that has great ridge views. The AT also passes a fire tower that gives spectacular views.

Mohican is near Worthington State Forest and the Delaware River.

When you get to Blairstown, turn left onto New Jersey Route 94 South and, after half a mile, turn right on Mohican Road. Go 3.5 miles and turn left on Gaisler Road.
