Mill Race Park offers river channels, small rapids, bridges and wooded trails—great for intimate waterscape and seasonal landscape shots. Best at golden hour and during fall foliage or after rains when flows increase. Easily accessible parking and paved paths from the Michigan Ave lot; no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quiet; expect families on weekends. Trails are stroller- and bike-friendly but bring waterproof shoes for riverbank access.
