Outdoor Activities
Explore the natural beauty of Denison and Central Ohio through fun activities with your friends. Hiking, climbing, creeking, orienteering, planting, and camping are a few of the activities to expect.
Bio Reserve
The Bio Reserve encompasses 350 acres in three contiguous sections within walking distance of campus. It’s open from dawn to dusk every day, and a well-marked trail system allows you to explore a variety of habitats and terrain.
Land Acknowledgement
In collaboration with Indigenous tribes of Ohio and Denison anthropologists, students explore the history of the land that we occupy. Students will visit historic places like the Alligator Mound, Underground Railroad stops, and burial grounds. Students gain new insight into the Peoples who have called this hill their home throughout history.
Held throughout the semester in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology and Sociology.
