The Green River: m
== The Green River ==
This is the closest body of water to the main part of campus, and probably the most used by students for recreation. Most [[polar bear swim|polar bear swims]] take place here, as well as most spontaneous swimming trips. The river's close location to the [[Odd Quad]] makes it a favorite destination for residents there, especially on hot summer and spring afternoons, and for an organized or unorganized night swim. The river here has shallow and deep parts for all levels of swim ability, as well as a small beach for "It's too freaking cold but I'll watch you" friends. A rope hung from the opposite bank makes a suitable swing for diving on high water days. Locals have been witnessed to fish in parts of the river downstream of the more used bend by the playground.
There is also a less known accessway to a different, somewhat secluded part of the river, located a ways downstream of the well known part by the playground. It is accessed by passing through a man-sized hole in a stone wall between a corner of the [[cemetery]] and the river. This part of the river is too shallow for swimming most days, but is probably excellent for making out.
