Carpenter Preserve is a small Neenah nature reserve of mixed wetland, prairie and woodlot offering intimate landscape frames, seasonal wildflowers and migratory songbirds. Trails are easy, parking off County Rd G; no fees. Best visits: spring for blooms and birds, golden hour for warm light, and fall for color. Expect uneven boardwalks and mosquitoes in summer—pack boots and insect repellent.
