Goose Creek Walking Trail

Schoolhouse Park – City of Harris

The Goose Creek Walking Trail is a community-built natural surface trail located within Schoolhouse Park in Harris, Minnesota. This scenic 2,200-foot wooded loop follows the natural contours of the land and offers beautiful views overlooking Goose Creek.

What makes this trail especially meaningful is how it began. City Council members, residents, and volunteers came together using their own time and equipment to clear and establish the walking path. Their efforts reflect the strong community spirit that defines Harris.
