Small hammock preserve with dense live oaks, shaded trails, marshy edges and seasonal birdlife — great for intimate nature and bird photography. Best at golden hour for warm side-light through the canopy and at dawn for active waders and songbirds. Accessible via a modest parking area at the back entrance; no permit usually required. Visit dry-season mornings (Nov–Apr) to avoid mosquitoes and afternoon harsh light. Weekday mornings are quieter.
