Freshwater slough and marsh with wide reed beds, cypress/willow pockets and abundant wading birds and alligators — great for intimate wildlife, reflections and minimalist wetland landscapes. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm side-light and mirror reflections; late fall through spring yields more migratory birds. Small parking area off Bee Line Hwy; trails are flat but can be muddy — bring insect repellent and waterproof shoes. No fee; shoot quietly to avoid disturbing wildlife.
