Hiking
The Duck Pond is a year-round feature that originated as a seasonal marshland, dammed in the winter for skating enjoyment and drained each summer for the farm animals to use as a pasture. You can enjoy the views of the water, the trees, and the ducks, as well as the historic skate house that was gifted in memory of a former student in 1941. The Duck Pond is a great place to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty of the campus.
