The Harris Center trails are open year-round free to the public. A kiosk is located at the trail head just outside our office….a good place to start exploring the 16 miles of trails. Whether you are birding, strolling, picnicking, or looking for a challenging hike, there is something for every type of explorer! Please remember our “carry-in, carry-out” and “all dogs on a leash” policies. Scroll down to view our trail maps….and enjoy your adventures!
There are two trail systems at the Harris Center: Skatutakee/Thumb Mountain trails – A hike up Mount Skatutakee on the Harriskat trail is about 3 miles round-trip. A loop over both summits via the Harriskat, Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down trails is about 4.5 miles. Easide trails — These trails feature huge glacial boulders, cool hemlock forests and fairly easy hiking. Both are marked and provide a rich array of habitats, views, and hiking opportunities for hikers of all ages.
