Small county preserve of mixed wetlands, prairie and woodlots offering intimate landscape scenes, seasonal wildflowers and songbirds. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and reflections in marshy areas; spring and fall yield peak color and migration. Easy dirt trails with limited parking on Routzong Rd; no fee but check park hours. Quiet, low-traffic location good for close-up nature and tranquil compositions.
