Small lake with marsh edges, boardwalks and tree-lined trails offering reflections, wildlife and seasonal color — excellent for serene waterscapes, intimate landscapes and bird/duck shots. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and mist; autumn yields vivid foliage. Park is free to enter with paved trails and parking at the lot on Camp Ernst Rd; expect families and dog-walkers on weekends. Easy walk from parking; bring polarizer for reflections and telephoto for birds.
