Small urban nature preserve with wetlands, prairie, oak forest and a curving boardwalk—good for birdlife, reflections, cattail silhouettes and seasonal color. Visit at sunrise or during spring/fall migration for active wildlife; winter offers stark snowy compositions. Parking at the center; trails include accessible boardwalks and an interpretive building with visitor info. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
