Harrisburg Road becomes a narrow dirt road after Harrisburg Lake. Passably by most cars are there are several designated campsites along the road. The southern branch of the East Stony Creek is either crossed by a pedestrian bridge or a 4x4 truck via a ford in low water. To the west is Wilcox Lake Trail (past a privately owned hunting camp and barrier) and to the east is Harrisburg Lake.
