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.
Catfish Pond
Once a boy-scout camp, the facility currently has several lodges, ranging from 3 people to 16. Cabins and lodges are open are year round, some of which are winterized which include heat and water. Most cabins have bathrooms with flush toilets and showers, if cabin or lodge does not have running water accommodations are in separate buildings nearby. Group space is available by reservation in the boathouse which looks over the pristine lake as well as the dining hall. Several campsites are located within the camp including lake view sites, and private tent sites. Bigger groups can use the large group campsite. Reserving the whole camp is a possibility; this includes all cabins, lodges, private camp sites, dining hall, and boathouse. Great for weddings or reunions!
