A remnant tallgrass prairie and oak savannah with sweeping grasslands, scattered bur oaks, seasonal wildflowers and abundant songbirds — great for intimate landscape scenes, macro wildflower shots and birding. Best at golden hour or early morning for soft light and active wildlife; spring–summer for blooms, fall for warm tones. Small parking area off Marion‑Melmore Rd; trails are unpaved and low-impact — wear boots, bring insect repellent and respect preserve rules (no off-trail disturbance). No
