There are many miles of riverside and highJand trails through natural woodland. Contained within the Park limits are nearly a thousand acres of wooded and uncultivated areas, maintained by the University as a plant and wild-life sanctuary.

The Garden Tower (seen right) southwest of the "Sun Singer" and hidden by a fringe of trees, is a beautiful, little-known edifice which provides a convenient elevation for a # over the wooded Sangamon Valley to the west. No significant garden construction occurred later than 1938 when the tower was completed.
