Mohican Outdoor Center

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is now home to the Appalachian Mountain Club's southernmost facility. The Mohican Outdoor Center is nestled between two ridges of the Appalachian Mountains on the banks of Catfish Pond near Blairstown, with the Appalachian Trail running just east of the camp. Opportunities abound for hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, rock climbing, and bird-watching, as well as for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice-skating in winter. Recreational and educational programs are available for both AMC members and non-members, including workshops on birding, backpacking, leadership training, fitness, writing, mushrooms and astronomy. Mohican also provides a base of operations for a wide range of trail work projects carried out by AMC in cooperation with the National Park Service.

Once a boy-scout camp, the facility can currently accommodate groups of up to 45 in the main lodge, with additional group space available by reservation in the boathouse or dining hall. Sleeping accommodations are in cabins with bunkrooms -- capacities vary from 4 to 21 people. All cabins have bathrooms with flush toilets and showers. "The Hostel", Cabin 3, is fully winterized. Other cabins are heated by woodstove or portable electric heater and have water use until mid-October. In winter, plumbing is available in the main lodge and for guests and members staying in Cabin 3. The main lodge features heat by furnace, a large central living/dining room with fireplace and a kitchen. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an Adirondack camp deep in the mountains.

Mohican is available for individual self-service use on a space available basis. Each of the three cabins has a kitchen equipped with stove, refrigerator, pots and pans, dishes and flatware. Mohican is the consummate retreat for you, your family, or even a corporate group. For information call 908/362-5670.

This note is for David Childs. I got your phone number but not an email and wonder if you will provide one so I can keep you up to date on the Cherry Valley Ramble we talked about when you and Bonnie voted. Anne Fetherman
