Hammocks are wonderful, portable, outdoor couches. They can be bought for as little as $15 at outdoors stores. A good hammock spot is often sunny, with smaller, sturdy trees about 8-10 feet apart, set back a bit from a path so people don't bother you too much.

The trees and the fence at the western edge of the quad, near the grills, are perfectly spaced for a hammock. Probably the most consistently sunny spot, especially in the afternoon.<!-- please alphabetize! !-->

There are a number of trees near the Haystack Monument (especially on the Dodd side) that are suitable. Sometimes a bit shady for early- or late-season hammocking.== Currier Quad ==
'''Sawyer Lawn'''There are two pines with hooks between [[East]] and the old [[Hopkins Observatory]]. Behind [[Fitch]] near the BBQ is another pair of trees with hooks. Behind [[Fay]] by the stairs that go down towards the hockey rink there are two trees on that slope that get sun no matter what time of day.
A few trees can be made to work over by the Congregational Church. The trees are a little too thick, and it loses sun in the afternoon.== Dodd Quad ==

The treesare a little too thick, and it loses sun in the afternoon. I’ve seen some people hook their hammock up to a pole and a tree by the marble blocks.
