Small public riverside preserve on the St. Croix with wooded bluffs, marshy backwaters and winding trails — strong for intimate landscapes, waterscapes and seasonal wildlife (waterfowl, migratory songbirds). Best at golden hour or overcast for even light. Easy roadside parking on Lily Ave N, no fee; trails are mostly flat but can be muddy. Visit spring and fall for migration colors; winter offers stark compositions and ice patterns.
