Small public put-in on the St. Joseph River offering calm upstream bends, tree-lined banks and strong reflections — a peaceful spot for early-morning mist, fall color and intimate river compositions. Easy roadside parking at 126 S Nottawa St; no fee. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side lighting, or in cooler months for low fog. Shallow banks make kayak or shore shots practical; expect seasonal changes (spring runoff, autumn foliage). Weekdays are quieter.
