A tranquil channel linking Lower Lake with surrounding wetlands—great for mirror reflections, reed silhouettes, and seasonal color (autumn foliage, winter ice). Small roadside access; parking available on nearby pullouts. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and mist; weekdays are quieter. No formal entry fee; dress for muddy trails and bring insect repellent in summer.
