For all of you nature lovers who would like to see the beauty of Appalachian mountains in its untouched glory, the Corneille Bryan Nature Center is located off Stuart Circle. It was specifically designed to call attention to the unique plant life in this area and promote its preservation. You may walk the trails, relax, and listen to the birds singing in this lovely spot daily during daylight hours. Canoes Although swimming in the lake is prohibited, you may want to enjoy a ride in a canoe or a paddle boat. Tickets are sold at the pool during posted pool hours.
Baskets are available for personal belongings.
Adult supervision is required for children under 8 years of age for the paddle boats and under 12 years of age for canoes. Youth center staff will be glad to provide assistance. Equipment is available upon request, or you may provide your own. Feeding the Ducks Ducks and geese will gather behind Stuart Auditorium, the Harrell Center, and Jones Cafeteria, and around the footbridge at the sight of anyone who has bread or grain for them to eat. Duck food may be purchased from a vending machine located on the 1st floor of the Harrell Center.
