Rivers, marshes, oak-beech forests and boardwalks around the Grand River create varied compositions: winding river reflections, misty dawns, migrating waterfowl and intimate wetland details. Visit at sunrise or shortly after for low-angle light and mist; golden hour also flatters fall color. Weekdays and early mornings are best for solitude and birds. Trails and raised boardwalks provide accessible vantage points and parking at the campus lot; no special permits for casual photography. Seasonal:
