Falcon Ridge Nature Preserve offers wetlands, prairie, wooded trails and boardwalks—ideal for birdlife, migratory waterfowl, dragonflies and seasonal wildflowers. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm side-light and reflections; spring and fall migration are peak wildlife times. Trails are mostly flat and accessible; free parking at the main lot. Expect mosquitoes in summer; weekday mornings are quieter. No entry fee—respect signage and stay on trails.
