Small conserved lands with mixed hardwood forest, wetlands and shoreline near Harbor Springs — ideal for intimate landscape, seasonal color and bird/deer photography. Easy trail access and modest parking at the Powell Rd trailhead; no fees but check local signage for preserve rules. Best visits: early morning for mist and birds, golden hour for warm light on trees and water; fall peak color and spring ephemerals. Trails are mostly easy but can be muddy after rain.
