Harbison State Forest
Harbison State Forest in Columbia enjoys the unique designation as one of the largest greenspaces within city limits east of the Mississippi River. Particularly suited to mountain biking enthusiasts, the forest’s 18 miles of trails offer riders, hikers and joggers an up-close and personal view of the wilderness without ever leaving town. Bounded along its northeastern edge by the Broad River, Harbison State Forest encompasses 2,137 acres of forestland only nine miles from the capital city's center. More than 30 miles of roads and trails weave through the mixed pine and hardwood forest, crossing wandering streams and descending through leafy glades to the river's edge.
