Small suburban preserve of mixed hardwoods, creekside marsh and winding trails that rewards close-up nature, birdlife and intimate landscape scenes. Visit at golden hour or early morning for soft light, reflections and active songbirds; spring brings wildflowers and migratory passerines. Trails are mostly flat and informal; limited parking at the Lackey Rd lot, no entry fee. Expect mosquitoes in warm months and bring closed shoes for muddy sections.
