Woodland, wetland and prairie scenes along quiet trails and the Fox River — pockets of babbling brooks, small falls, ponds, bridges and river frontage offer intimate nature shots and seasonal moods. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; arrive early weekdays for solitude. Small paved lot at 1300 Cold Springs Rd; trails are moderate, watch for ticks and muddy sections. No fee; respect wildlife and anglers.
