The Dike

One popular location for exercise and outdoor recreation is the dike located in between the athletic complexes and the YMCA Campus Beach. There is an entrance at the end of a neighborhood just behind the Esso Club. The dike is has a great view of campus on one side and Lake Hartwell on the other. I know many people who include the dike in their running routes just for the scenery. I have also seen many people walking their dogs there.

Recently, my friends and I have gone to the dikes to run sprints up the hill as a workout. There is also a nice sandy beach that people go to for tanning, reading, napping, or campfires. My favorite part of the dike is its location relative to campus. From my dorm, I can jog to the lake at the dike within ten minutes.
