A quiet marsh and river-edge refuge on the St. Croix corridor, ideal for waterfowl, shorebirds and reflective wetland landscapes. Shoot sunrise and golden hour for warm sidelighting on reeds and glassy water; spring and fall migrations offer dense bird activity. Access is informal (small parking/turnouts nearby), no fees, short walks over boardwalks/trails; expect bugs in summer and icy conditions in winter. Weekday mornings are best for solitude and undisturbed wildlife.
