Wooded floodplain along the Salamonie River with braided channels, oxbows, boardwalks and mixed hardwoods — strong for river landscapes, reflections, fall color and birdlife. Best at golden hour and blue hour for soft light and long exposures; spring for migratory birds and wildflowers, fall for foliage. Small parking areas and trailheads; easy to moderate trails and canoe put-ins. No entrance fee, watch for muddy sections and mosquitoes in summer. Weekday mornings are quiet.
