A quiet Mississippi River floodplain forest offering flooded meadows, sculptural trunks, spring ephemerals and migratory waterfowl. Photograph reflective waterways, misty mornings and autumn color. Accessible from S River Rd with informal parking; no fee but expect muddy trails, mosquitoes and ticks. Best at sunrise/sunset and during spring high-water or peak fall color; overcast works for even forest light.
