== Hoosic & Green River Juncture ==
This is a lovely spot for swimming, tubing, or sitting and reflecting. It is within walking distance of campus.
Head east on Route 2, for about a block or two beyond Cole Ave. You'll see a strange power station (small brick building, lots of power lines) on your left. Walk behind it. You will see a narrow footpath heading back into the underbrush. Follow it, and you'll find yourself walking on a beautiful nature path along the Green River.
A particularly nice place to stop is about 1/2 or 3/4 mile along the path. You'll see a concrete block with a pipe sticking out of it on your right. Go behind it, and walk down a few steps to the riverbank. This is where the Green and Hoosic Rivers merge. The Green River is very shallow at this point, but where the rivers merge it gets quite deep and good for swimming. There is enough of a current to float in a tube when the water is high, but it's not dangerous at all. There is a pebbled "beach" to hang out on as well.
When you're done enjoying yourself, continue following the path in the same direction, and you will end up on a street just behind the Spirit Shoppe.
