Expansive freshwater marsh with boardwalks, observation towers and sweeping reed beds — a prime spot for waterfowl, sandhill cranes, marsh birds and reflective waterscapes. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm backlight and mist; spring and fall migrations offer peak bird activity. Visitor Center, parking and accessible trails make composing from elevated platforms easy; no general entry fee but follow wildlife-area rules and stay on designated paths.
