River-valley coulees, wetlands and prairie views with winding trails, seasonal waterfowl and dramatic skies. Shoot wide vistas from ridge overlooks at golden hour, intimate bird and marsh shots from boardwalks, and stark winter/late-autumn textures. Park is free, trails are unpaved and uneven—use sturdy shoes. Best light: sunrise and sunset for warm rim-light on grasses; spring/fall for migration and lush growth; winter for graphic contrasts. Parking available on Marie Van Haarlem Cres; weekdays
