Small preserve of mixed meadows, wetlands and woodlands offering seasonal wildflowers, migrating and resident birds, reflective ponds and tree-lined trails. Best at golden hour or early morning for soft light and active wildlife; spring and fall are most photogenic. Accessible loop trails and parking at the main lot (6805 Old Mars Crider Rd); no formal entry fee. Expect mosquitoes in summer and muddy sections after rain—weekday mornings have the fewest visitors.
