Small wooded park with winding trails, mixed hardwoods and seasonal wetlands — strong for intimate forest scenes, fall color, and reflections after rain. Easy access from Chaska with a small parking lot, no fee; paths can be muddy after rain. Best light: golden hour or overcast for even forest tones. Weekday mornings are quiet; winter snowscape offers minimalist compositions.
