Small wetland preserve with boardwalks, marshes and mixed woodlands—strong for bird and water-reflection shots, seasonal colors and intimate nature scenes. Best at dawn or dusk for low light and active wildlife; spring and fall offer migration and foliage. Streetside parking on Hope Ave; no fee. Trails are mostly flat but bring bug protection in summer.
