Black River Forest (BRF)
Anchored by an elegant cedar warming lodge, the Black River Forest (BRF) campus offers 10 miles of trails on a variety of terrain, challenging students in all seasons. Bikers can ride through the pine covered pathways and follow a zigzagging, hilly descent to the bike barn. In the winter, snowshoers and cross-country skiers can navigate a series of well-marked intersecting trails.
Activities Include: Biking, Hiking, Snowshoeing, & Cross-country Skiing
BRF is a private campus and is not available for public use.
