Let's hike the Peninsula Trail in beautiful Harris Lake park. The Peninsula Trail leads visitors along the lakeshore through a variety of forest habitats, including a longleaf pine stand and mixed oak/hickory hardwoods. If you're quiet, you may catch a glimpse of a deer, turkey, or a variety of waterfowl along the way. This trail offers great views of Harris Lake.

**You should expect some roots, rocks and poor/uneven footing in certain sections. In order to reduce the chance of a fall, a hiking pole or poles is recommended.**
