Quiet mixed hardwood preserve with winding trails, stream crossings and dense undergrowth — great for intimate forest scenes, long-exposure water shots, seasonal color in fall and moody mist in spring. Best at golden hour or pre-dawn for soft light and fog; visit after rain for saturated colors and reflections. Small parking area off Kalorama Rd; trails are unpaved and can be muddy — wear boots. No permit for casual photography; respect habitat and keep to trails.
