Small, peaceful preserve with a mile-long crushed-limestone prairie loop and a shaded forest mulch trail. Great for wildflower and seasonal blossom shots, open skies for panoramas, and intimate woodland scenes. Easy parking at the trailhead, no fees, short walks make it accessible for quick shoots. Best in spring for blooms and golden hour for warm light; weekdays or early mornings avoid dog walkers and picnickers.
