Small restored wetland near Andrews offering boardwalks, shallow ponds and reed beds that attract waterfowl, waders and dragonflies — great for intimate wildlife and reflection shots. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and glassy water; golden hour reduces heat haze common in West Texas. Easy roadside access and parking; usually no fee. Weekday mornings are quiet; bring sun protection and insect repellent during summer.
