Known for its leisurely days and friendly ways, the region has a lot to offer. Take in the picturesque backdrops and the mountain fresh air as you free yourself in nature’s playground. The sand and water of pristine Harrison Lake always make for good times. You can go for a refreshing dip, build a sand castle with the family, explore by kayak, hire a fishing guide, tour world class gardens, experience the countryside Circle Farm Tour or just relax with a good book. Wildlife viewing is fantastic year round and numerous trails are yours to explore. Bald eagles,
heron, salmon and seals are all common sights. Also, a visit would not be complete without experiencing the soothing hot water of the public mineral hot pool. The indoor pool is centrally located and open 7 days a week.
The natural beauty of Harrison is brought to life with numerous events and celebrations. In fact, any season you visit, you will be able to take pleasure in a vibrant array of festivals and community events.
