Fort Harrison State Park Trail Challenge

Whether you're an experienced backpacker or a casual hiker, this challenge is for you! The Friends of Fort Harrison sponsor this non-competitive program in which anyone can attempt to hike all 6 trails (14 miles!) in the month of November.

Register online for a trail challenge t-shirt. Proceeds help raise funds for park improvement and programs. Look for naturalist-guided hikes on each trail through the month to learn something new while completing the challenge! 

Complete information regarding the challenge may be found on the FHSP Trail Challenge tab of this website.
