Review:
Fort Harrison, also known as Fort Ben, is a state park located in Lawrence, Indiana, that is located on and occupies part of the former site of Fort Benjamin Harrison. The 1,700-acre park features a network of hiking, walking and biking trails, a Pete Dye-designed golf course, lovely picnic sites, fishing in Fall Creek, and two national historic districts. Full of blooming flowers in the spring, the park offers a variety of activities throughout the year from canoeing, kayaking and fishing on Fall Creek in the summer to sledding down the park’s hills in the winter. There is also a Nature Center with informative exhibits and displays on the local fauna and flora, and historic sites include a former Citizen's Military Training Camp, a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, and a World War II prisoner of war camp.
