MSU Gardens
The gardens that blanket Michigan State University's 5,200 acre campus are a special part of the Spartan experience. They are not just beautiful spaces to relax, but serve as a living learning laboratory for studying diverse plant species and are a key component of a sustainable university.
Red Cedar River
Roughly 3 miles of the Red Cedar River flow through Michigan State University's campus, providing habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife, offering a special space for the Spartan community to relax and recreate, and serving as a living laboratory for education and research.
