This tall, white water tower, is one of the first landmarks that you come across in Skidmore's North Woods. The base of it is covered in graffiti and art work by the college students and is a fun place to pause on your hike. The North Woods are owned by Skidmore College, a private liberal arts school, but are open to all. Not only are the woods enjoyed by the students and public alike, but more than 30 courses offered at the college each year rely on the North Woods as an outdoor laboratory. The North Woods are a great place then to keep an eye out for local animals and admire the trees and plants, including the beautiful Eastern Newt and the relatively uncommon Red Trillium flower.
