Small riparian preserve with winding Marys River, wetlands, oak savanna and boardwalks — strong for reflections, misty mornings, spring wildflowers and migrating waterfowl. Best at sunrise or golden hour for low-angle light and river reflections; late winter/spring for birds; autumn for warm tones. Short, mostly flat trails and boardwalks provide easy access and close foregrounds; free parking at the trailhead off Kalapuya Cir. Weekdays and early mornings avoid local foot traffic. Respect paths—
