Small, wooded preserve with mixed hardwoods, seasonal wildflowers, streams and rolling terrain — great for intimate forest scenes, macro shots of flora, and wildlife. Visit spring for blooms, fall for color, and golden hour for warm side-lighting. Trails are unpaved and moderately easy; bring waterproof shoes. Small parking area at the trailhead off Pollys Bend Rd; no permit typically required. Weekday mornings are best for solitude and bird activity.
