Small riverside park with trails, boardwalks and wetlands along the Portage Creek/Kalamazoo area—good for intimate landscape, waterscape and bird photography. Easy access with free parking; no entry fee. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and reflections; fall brings colorful foliage. Weekday mornings are quiet; expect seasonal mud on trails and bring insect repellent in summer.
