Genesee County has many beautiful outdoor recreation opportunities. This includes beaches, disc golf courses, parks, fishing sites, and nature preserves – all of which can be explored on the Genesee County Parks & Recreation site.
The Flint River Trail is also easily accessible from the Recreation Center, as a portion of it runs through campus. In addition to walking or running the trails, you can also rent a bike to explore the trails or get around campus.
