Lansing River Trail

An ~8 mile paved path that runs from campus through downtown Lansing along the Red Cedar.  It is great for walking, running & biking.  You can pick the trail up just south of the Kellogg Center. A branch extending south from the zoo to a park (Scott Woods) was recently added. Scott Woods is about 5 miles each way from the Kellogg Center.
