User Whippet_yoga reminded everyone of the outdoor recreation that Lansing has to offer, "Everyone sleeps on how excellent for outdoor recreation Lansing actually is. We have a decent amount of mountain bike trails (Anderson, Fyne, Ingham CD, Van Atta, Burchfield), decent hiking (Rose Lake, Burchfield, and Sleepy Hollow) and good canoeing/Kayaking. We even kinda/sora/not really have rock climbing at Grand Ledge!"
