Soak Up Summer with Campus Walking Trails!

Looking for an easy way to enjoy the sunshine while staying active? UWRF has a series of scenic walking routes across campus, perfect for getting outside and on the move.

Each route is clearly marked with a unique color and number, making it simple to choose your path based on distance (measured in miles) and fitness goals. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick stroll or a longer adventure, there’s a route to match your pace.

So, grab your sunglasses, lace up your shoes (or hop on your bike or rollerblades), and take advantage of these routes the next time you’re looking for a fresh air break. It’s a simple way to enjoy everything our beautiful campus has to offer this season.
