Small preserved prairie with sweeping wildflower meadows, marshy wetlands and wildlife — excellent for colorful mid-summer flower fields, close-up fungus shots after rain, and quiet nature landscapes. Minimal mowed paths and limited access into wetter areas; expect mosquitoes and muddy spots. No fee; small roadside parking on S Rose Farm Rd. Best visited at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; mid-summer for blooms, and after rain for mushrooms.
