Welcome to the Outdoor
Recreation Program at Vanderbilt University. Outdoor Rec offers
adventures in the great outdoors for Vanderbilt students, faculty, staff,
and the Vanderbilt community. See our list of Upcoming
Trips for details.
Nashville is close to gorgeous state parks and natural areas, making it an ideal location for weekend backpacking, spelunking, canoeing, and rafting trips. You can participate in an Outdoor Rec trip, or rent gear from Outdoor Rec to plan your own trip. Our resource library includes maps and guidebooks for local parks so you can plan a trip on your own.
Outdoor Rec is located on Children's Way, just behind the Rob Roy Purdy Intramural Fields by the Student Recreation Center. See our map for detailed directions and for parking information.
