Overview
Nestled in Lawrence, Fort Harrison State Park presents a picturesque landscape that, unlike typical beach destinations, doesn’t feature expanses of sand or the salty embrace of the sea. As an inland park, it offers a variety of recreational activities set against a backdrop of natural beauty and historical significance. Activities include hiking, bird watching, fishing in Fall Creek, golfing on a premier course, and exploring the remnants of Fort Harrison's military past. Fort Harrison State Park has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, or allow dogs, which creates a more preserved natural atmosphere for visitors to enjoy.
