Designated Water Trail · Mohican-Walhonding-Muskingum System

Formed at the confluence of the Mohican and Kokosing Rivers near Nellie, the Walhonding flows 24 miles east through Coshocton County to join the Tuscarawas River at Coshocton — together forming the Muskingum. Quiet Class I water through Ohio farmland and woodland; the historic put-in for paddlers continuing the multi-day Black Fork → Mohican → Walhonding → Muskingum → Ohio canoe route. The name is a Lenape (Delaware) word meaning "white river."
