City's Natural Setting Offers Its Advantages Huron River Valley Lends Beauty And Refreshment To Local Countryside Cradled in the vacationland of Michigan, Ann Arbor and vicinity offers the student who can tear him- self away from books and professors long enough a plethora of recrea- tional opportunities. Unlike most towns of its size, the University City has within its limits the facilities for ten outdoor summer sports. One can swim, ride, hike, play golf, tennis or baseball, go ca- noeing, sailing or cycling or fish and still remain under the protecting eyes of the city fathers. Ann Arbor is situated in a valley banked on the north by the Hills of Barton. and on the east by the Hills of Huron. To the west stretch for miles the vast plains leading to the sand dunes of the Lake of Michigan and to the south lies, a long distance off, the Gulf of Mexico. Through the northern' part of town trickles- the River Huron, entering from the Pond of Barton formed by the Dam of Edison, and disappearing through the Arboretum of Nichols and under the tracks of Michigan Central to- ward the hamlet of Ypsilanti.. This River Huron, with its scenic valley, is responsible for many of the recreational opportunities available, Without it, swimming would be con- fined to pools and outlying lakes; canoeing would never by considered and fishermen would be desolate. Picnickers would be forced to remain on their own front yards. As runs the River Huron, so runs Ann Arbor's recreation. Its clarion call to hours of leisure and enjoyment is heard often by all Summer Ses- sion students. Its plea is not to be ignored. The River Huron and its valley assures each student a healthy, happy summer.

Ann Arborites, permanent and temporary, can find moist relief in a number of places within easy walk- ing distance and short driving range. Locally, the Huron River provides outdoor swimming spots while the pools at the Union and the Intra- mural Building are open throughout the summer for indoor swimmers. The city's Municipal Bathing Beach is located in the Huron River on Long Shore Drive with an es- timated 40,000 persons swimming there each summer. This beach is equipped with diving floats and life guards are in attendance. There are a number of unsuper- vised spots along the river that are popular with bathers. Among these are Barton Pond, stretching for over a mile just outside the city limits, which can be reached by either the Huron River Drive or the Barton Hills Road; Delhi and Hudson Mills, further out the Huron River Drive about five and fourteen miles re- spectively; and Rawsonville Dam, near Ypsilanti in the other direction, reached by driving out Washtenaw or Geddes roads about eight miles. At Portage Lake, 16 miles out the Dexter road, and at Whitmore Lake, 10 miles north of town on Main Street (US23), can be found pri- vately operated bathing beaches with water sport equipment. Portage Lake is popular with non-swimming bath- ers, as one can wade far out from shore without going over one's depth. Loch Alpine, six miles out the Huron River Drive, while having no facilities other than the water, the bank and an old log, is a favorite for those who like to pull on a suit, drive out and dive in. Further away, public beaches can be found at Cava- naugh Lake, 20 miles out; Island Lake, 18 miles away; Walled Lake, 30 miles off; and Wamplers Lake, 35 miles distant.
