Small wooded preserve with winding dirt trails, marshy pools and a stream — good for intimate nature compositions: reflections, close-up flora and seasonal fall color. Best at golden hour or early morning mist; spring for wildflowers and breeding birds, fall for warm foliage. Trailhead parking on N 21st St; no fee. Trails are easy-to-moderate and can be muddy after rain — bring bug spray and waterproof shoes. Weekdays are quieter.
