Small riverside/woodland park with trails, boardwalks and wetland edges—great for intimate landscape, waterscape and wildlife shots. Shoot reflections on the arroyo, close-up mushrooms and moss, and seasonal wildflowers. No entry fee; small parking area off Old Samish Rd. Best light: golden hour at sunrise or late afternoon; weekdays and early mornings reduce dog-walker crowds. Trails are easy but can be muddy in winter—bring waterproof shoes.
