Moraine Nature Preserve
Small restored prairie and woodland with abundant wildflowers, milkweed and butterflies—ideal for close-ups of pollinators and wide low-angle prairie vistas. Trails are mostly mowed and flat but include narrower bumpy sections; access via a one-lane gravel road with a few pullouts. Parking at a small lot by the nature center; no fee. Best light: golden hour or late-afternoon for insect activity and warm backlight; weekday mornings are quieter.
