Small riverside park with wooded trails, boardwalks and river vistas along the Cape Fear River — good for intimate landscape and waterscape shots, seasonal foliage and wildlife. Free entry with trailhead parking at 1002 S 13th St; trails are mostly flat and accessible. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset; spring and fall offer strongest color and bird activity. Weekday mornings are quieter for longer exposures and compositions without people.
