Small, varied woodland preserve featuring a 1–mile loop through seven ecosystems with Salem Lake, creek crossings, bridges, meadows and shaded trails. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; weekday mornings reduce crowds. Easy parking, short stair access to trails, no fee. Watch for muddy prairie sections and poison ivy.
