Small urban nature preserve with ponds, marsh boardwalks and oak-hickory woods — ideal for close-up water reflections, migratory birds, seasonal foliage and intimate landscape compositions. Best light is early morning or late afternoon; weekday mornings avoid families and school groups. Trails and boardwalks are stroller-friendly; free parking at the lot. No permit for casual photography, but check staff for drone restrictions.
