Small urban park on a shallow lake with a boardwalk, beaches, open fields and skyline views of Lansing — great for waterscapes, birding and sunset compositions. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and reflections; spring/fall for migratory birds and color. Easily accessible with paved trails and on-site parking (free); no ticketing. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded. Paths and boardwalks are wheelchair-friendly.
