Construction from Brand New Playscape

Harrison Bay State Park

Please excuse our mess as we work to build a brand-new learning playscape! Work has begun paving the way for a nature-based playscape that will combine the fun of a play area with opportunities to learn and help children connect with nature through a hands-on experience. Due to the heat, work may begin each day in the early morning hours before quiet time is over, causing noise for our campground guests. Please contact the park office for additional details. Thank you for your patience during this project!

    Golf at Harrison Bay

    Golf Course Clubhouse

    The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay State Park
    8919 Harrison Bay Road, Harrison, TN 37341

    The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay is a true classic in this collection designed by Jack Nicklaus. Located approximately 20 minutes north of Chattanooga, the Bear Trace at Harrison Bay is surrounded by both water and dense forest. It is referred to as “the best natural piece of land for a golf course” and is recognized as one of the best public golf courses in the area. 
     
    The course features four sets of tees, 419 Bermuda fairways lined with soaring pine and hardwood trees, and Champion Bermuda greens. Although water touches 12 fairways, there is more than sufficient room to play safely. Most greens are open in front, which makes the course more user-friendly.  Fairway and green side bunkers are designed in traditional Nicklaus style and add notable character to the course’s overall integrity. Like other courses in this collection, the emphasis on playability is clear.
