Braddock Bay Park offers expansive marshes, cattail-lined shorelines and a long boardwalk ideal for bird and waterscape photography. Prime for migratory birding (raptors, waterfowl), reflections at sunrise/sunset, and intimate wetland details. Accessible parking and a small visitor area off Manitou Rd; well-marked trails and year-round access (watch for muddy sections). Weekday dawns are best for light and fewer people.
