Small, protected chert-glade preserve with exposed bedrock, seasonal streams, hardwood forest and rare prairie plants — great for intimate nature, macro and landscape shots. Visit spring for wildflowers, summer mornings for butterflies and birds, and fall for color. Golden hour light filters through trees; low sun emphasizes rock textures. Trails are mostly short and boardwalked; parking and a visitor center at the entrance. No fee; stay on trails to protect fragile plants.
