Small prairie-wetland sanctuary with boardwalks, cattail marshes and oak-savanna fragments. Prime for birding (waterfowl, sandpipers, warblers), reflections and seasonal wildflowers. Best at dawn or dusk for low light and active birds; spring/fall migration peak. Easy roadside parking at trailhead; mostly flat, unpaved paths and boardwalks—no fee. Expect mosquitoes in summer; bring layered clothing in spring/fall.
