Small urban wetland with boardwalks, cattails and open water offering intimate wildlife and reflection shots — great for herons, ducks, beavers and seasonal migrants. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm sidelighting and glassy water; late fall–spring yields most waterfowl. Site is free with limited roadside parking; expect muddy trails and some boardwalks (check for closures). Weekday mornings are quieter. No special permits for casual photography.
