Small riverine preserve with winding Paddock River, wetlands, boardwalks and mixed hardwoods — strong for seasonal color, intimate landscape frames and birdlife. Best at golden hours and in fall or spring migration; weekday mornings reduce crowds. Trails are mostly flat and walkable from the Trails End parking area (likely free); bring waterproof shoes for wet sections. No special permits for casual photography; watch for slippery boardwalks and respect wildlife.
