A ~7-mile Benton County conservation corridor of prairies, riparian woods and wetlands along the Old Creamery Nature Trail. Photograph sweeping prairie grasses, seasonal wildflowers, migrating songbirds and intimate creek scenes. Best at golden hour in spring and fall for color. Trail is mostly flat and accessible from several parking points (check local trailhead signs); no entry fee. Weekday mornings minimize people; expect ticks in summer and muddy sections after rain.
