To all the Rangers, Park Staff, and fellow Laborers, Happy Labor Day!

Whether it's cleaning toilets on a holiday, catching feral cats, doing an education program, responding to medical and emergency calls, or just being silly, we appreciate all the labor (of love) that goes into running Harrison Bay State Park!

To the rest of the Park staff who aren't pictured: We still love you, we just don't have photographic evidence of it.

Grab yours at the A-frame Camp store, the Marina Office, or the Interpretive Center. You will also find spooky spiders, regel ravens, resourceful raccoons, or observant owls.
