Small restored prairie and wetland with boardwalks, native grasses, seasonal wildflowers and abundant songbirds — ideal for intimate landscape, birding and waterscape shots. Visit at golden hour or early morning for low light, mist and active wildlife. Easily accessible with parking at McCormick Park, no fees; pathways and boardwalks offer varied vantage points. Weekdays are quieter; summer midafternoons can be harsh — spring and fall offer best color and migration activity.
