The Mohican River is formed in Ashland County, about 2 miles (3.2km) southwest of Loudonville,[6] by the confluence of the Black Fork and the Clear Fork.[1] It then flows generally south-southeast through western Holmes and northeastern Knox Counties, past the community of Brinkhaven, into northwestern Coshocton County, where it joins the Kokosing River to form the Walhonding River.[6] It collects the Lake Fork in Holmes County.[6]
Near Brinkhaven the river is spanned by the Bridge of Dreams, the second longest covered bridge in Ohio.
