About This Trail

Imported description

The Harris Creek Trail is extended by the Prairie circuit, marked by trees and posts. The only way to get to the trailhead can be found outside, but it is a stone's throw away from the Visitor's Center. There are two things that can be done at Harris Creek. It was the Crawfish Pond loop and this one. This is an interpretive nature trail with interpretive signs. As I mentioned earlier, the Prairie loop is a dirt path, and it is not the same gravel path you get in the Crawfish Pond loop.
