If you can't stay the whole time even an hour or
two is a big help! It is absolutely OK to take a
break from your run/ride and grab a tool...we WILL
NOT stop you!
PROCESS!!!
Much like closure measures used in other areas to
protect trails from damage due to wet weather,
Harbison's great trails now have protection.
During heavy rain events and for 24 hours after,
trail users will be directed to stay off the
trails. You may still run, walk or ride the
gravel roads. Soon, Friends will have more
information about this process, including
directions to the alternate routes, displayed at
our new kiosk. The forest map already shows the
gravel roads.
If you would like to help with any of our
activities, please call Harry at 803-605-3120 or
James Miller at the Forest Office.
