<p>I read on the Knox website that there is a 760 acres wooded area for hiking and the like that is apparently a part of the campus. However, collegedata.com says the campus is 80 something acres.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me where the wooded area is relative to the campus proper?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>The biological field station, Green Oaks, is more than 700 acres and located about 20 minutes away from the campus near the Spoon River. As a Knox alum, I've been there many times, you can camp, canoe, hike, etc. there plus the environmental studies program uses it for a lot of weather research. The best even there is the annual prairie fire.</p>
<p>thanks, sgawor. I believe it was said a car is not necessary to have at Knox. However, how would you get over to this spoon river preserve? do you know if there is a bus?</p>
<p>is it a 20 minute car ride or a 20 minute walk?</p>
