MSU’s Recreational Sports and Fitness Services also offers sailing through the MSU Sailing Center on Lake Lansing, which is open for students to check out equipment seven days a week.

“We will be out here every day, weather permitting,” said Sailing Center Director Ken Warshaw.

There is a disc golf course in the southwest part of campus, and an extensive trail system that students can access by Breslin Center, according to Dr. Christine Vogt, a professor in the Department of Community Sustainability.

The trail system connects to the Lansing River Trail, which runs past Potter Park Zoo, the East Lansing Farmer’s Market, and continues to the north part of Lansing, said Vogt.

Lansing also has a many attractions, including the Lansing Lugnuts baseball team, and visitor centers.

“There are tons of festivals and events almost every weekend,” Vice President of Marketing Communication at the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau, or GLCVB, Tracy Padot said.

The East Lansing GLCVB Visitor Center offers many services, including a print visitor guide every year and personalized assistance, said Padot.

Genomics and molecular genetics sophomore Kimberly Bradley said she is anxiously awaiting the warmth.

“I’m looking forward to just enjoying campus, being outside and going to the botanical garden,” Bradley said.
