Harris Center for Conservation trails

The Harris Center does not have a museum or exhibits, but we do have miles of trails to explore. Some of our trails leave directly from the Harris Center; others require a short drive to a nearby trailhead. Bathrooms are available in the Harris Center building for hikers to use during regular weekday office hours.
