Harrington Beach State Park Conditions
Conditions as of Wednesday, February 8, 2012:
Trails
Trails are in poor cross-country skiing condition. Several areas have no snow, and the snow in the park has been melting. Hikers should be aware of potential icy patches or stretches.
There are some icy patches on the park roads. Please use caution when driving in the park.
Fishing
People have not been ice fishing on Quarry Lake. Ice fishing is allowed on the lake but please remember the lake is a former quarry and is usually the last lake to freeze in the county. Park staff do not monitor ice conditions.
Nature
Many deer have been spotted in the park. A mature bald eagle was spotted flying over the park.
Camping
The campground is closed for the season and will reopen in May 2012.
Reserve a campsite up to 11 months in advance. Call (888) WI PARKS ((888)947-2757, TTY (800) 274-7275) or reserve online.
