The 170-acre Woodlands campus complex at Keystone College contains roughly 7 miles of hiking trails. The trails are open seven days a week from dawn until dusk, and are reserved for foot traffic only. Bikes, ATVs, and horses are strictly prohibited.

Professor Howard Jennings Nature Preserve Keystone has established the Professor Howard Jennings Nature Preserve to honor the years of dedication of Professor Howard Jennings. The College dedicated a portion of its beautiful Woodlands campus as a nature preserve and it will not be developed in any way. The area’s scenic beauty, with its streams, hiking trails, and forests will be preserved and protected for years to come for the benefit of the entire community. Read More in the Keystonian (PDF)
