Visit Harrison Bay State Park, offering a dedicated dog park, miles of shoreline, and wooded trails.

Harrison is defined by its beautiful location along Chickamauga Lake, and its crown jewel is Harrison Bay State Park. Notably, this was the first Tennessee State Park to install a dedicated dog park, allowing campers and day-use visitors to let their pups run off-leash in a fenced area. Beyond the dog park, the state park offers miles of wooded trails and extensive shoreline where leashed dogs can enjoy the water and wildlife. It’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who love boating, fishing, and hiking with their pets.

The community atmosphere in Harrison is laid-back and centered on the water. Residents often enjoy evening walks along the lake or quiet afternoons at the park. Tick prevention is recommended due to the dense woods in the park areas. With its unique combination of state park amenities and residential quiet, Harrison offers a vacation-like lifestyle for dogs who love nature, swimming, and exploring the woods.
