Small urban preserve with oak savanna, seasonal wetlands and miles of trails — great for birding, close-up flora and wide landscape compositions. Best in spring (wildflowers) and winter migration for birds; golden hour gives warm side-light on oaks and long shadows. Easily accessible off Auburn Blvd with free parking; flat, dirt paths good for all levels. Expect mosquitoes after rain and bring water; weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
