Harrisburg Ghost Town Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Harrisburg was a small town located north of the Quail Creek Reservoir, until floods displaced its inhabitants and it became a ghost town. Several houses remain; one house has no roof anymore, is completely abandoned, and is worth seeing.

Quail Creek State Park Entrance

Highlight • Rest Area

You can access Quail Creek from this intersection. It's another State Park turned into a desert oasis like nearby Sand Hollow. The views created by the contrasting blue water and striking red cliffs are incredible and worth the short detour.
