Lyonia Preserve is a 450-acre scrub and wetland reserve with boardwalks, ponds, and native scrub—ideal for birding, macro shots of butterflies/plants, and reflective wetland landscapes. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for soft side-light and active birds; late dry season gives clearer skies and easier trails. Free entry and limited parking at the trailhead; boardwalks afford wheelchair access but some sandy paths can be uneven. The onsite learning center highlights local conservation.
