A compact lakeside loop with calm water, marshy edges and tree-lined trails offering reflections, shorebirds and intimate landscape compositions. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and glassy reflections; late winter–spring yields migratory birds and flowering understory. Trailhead parking at Ogletree Rd is small but free; easy, mostly flat trail suitable for backpacks and tripods. Expect local walkers—weekday mornings are quiet. No fee required.
