Small but varied preserve with hilltop views over Lost Valley, long stream corridors, mixed woods and meadows — great for landscape, waterscape and intimate nature shots. Visitor Center offers parking, restrooms and trail maps; trails are moderate with some steep sections. Best in spring for wildflowers and bird migration, or fall for color; aim for sunrise/sunset for low light and fewer people. Weekdays are quieter; no entrance fee (confirm seasonally).
