Small yet varied preserve with mixed woodlands, prairie, wetlands and boardwalks—ideal for birding, macro plant shots, reflections and sweeping landscape frames. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and mist over marshes; spring and fall offer peak color and migration. Parking Lot C provides easy trail access; trails are mostly moderate—carry bug spray and waterproof shoes. Free entry; expect minimal crowds on weekday mornings.
