You'll be able to enjoy outdoor activities year-round at IUP's Co-op Recreational Park -- 280 wooded acres that include natural trails, a Parcourse, a fishing pond, and picnic and camping shelters. A lodge building in the park accommodates up to 200 people.

IUP also maintains a sailing base at Yellow Creek State Park, about 10 miles from Indiana, where you can use the university's sailboats to enjoy lake sailing -- or learn how to sail.
