- Construction notice (May – October):
- Harriman State Park sewer and waterline construction start date: May 22, 2025. Work continues through fall. Although only yurts are available for overnight rentals during this time, day-use facilities and trail access will be open to the public. When in the park, please observe any posted signage, caution tape, construction cones, or directions from Park staff about construction areas. You may be re-routed to access a trail, and parking lot areas may be limited due to the construction.
- Be advised that the primary location for restrooms will remain the Park’s vault toilets, as well as 4 porta-potties. These will be located at the Visitor Center and Boys House in the historic district. As waterlines will be affected by the construction, water fountains will not be operational. Please make sure to bring plenty of drinking water to use while enjoying the park. Thank you for your patience during our improvement to your State Park!
- The Boys House remains open as a family gathering space.
- Dog policy:
- Dogs allowed only in parking lots; no summer‑season trail access.
- Must be on a six‑foot leash and attended at all times; stray or unattended animals may be impounded at owner’s expense (IDAPA 26.01.20.175.09).
- Bear‑aware reminders:
- Make noise, travel in groups, stick to daylight hours.
- Carry bear spray and a bell.
