Travel Details








At the Corps of Engineers' Tappan Lake, extensive recreation facilities are operated by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD). Visit their website at: www.mwcdlakes.com.

Tappan Lake is near a restored Indian village at Shoenbrunn State Park and the outdoor historical drama, "Trumpet in the Land."

The Tappan - Moravian Trail Scenic Byway provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the views along two beautiful lakes surrounded by heavily wooded hills. In addition to the lakes, the Byway follows a portion of the historic Moravian Trail. This trail was originally used by Delaware and Wyandote Indians, then by Moravian Missionaries and then became a major stagecoach route. The trail follows the ridge above the south side of Tappan Lake, passes through the historic village of Deersville, past a restored log cabin, through Feed Springs, a natural stopping place for water in the covered wagon days, and past many scenic farms edged by hardwood forests.

Golden Age and Golden Access and other Federal recreation passports are not honored by MWCD.
