Small riverside preserve with shaded hemlocks, a meandering creek, cattail wetlands and short trails — excellent for intimate landscape, water-reflection and seasonal foliage shots. Visit at golden hour or after rain for saturated colors and glassy reflections; autumn yields strongest colors. Trails and a modest parking area off Grand Ave; no fee known. Some boardwalks and uneven terrain — bring waterproof shoes. Weekday mornings are quiet; mosquitoes can be active in summer.
