Small preserve of prairie, wetlands and winding trails offering open vistas, wildflowers, grasses and reflective pools — ideal for minimalistic landscape and night-sky shots. Best at golden hour and blue hour; remote feel with limited light pollution good for Milky Way. Accessible via a small trailhead parking area off local roads; no fees. Expect uneven paths and seasonal ticks; check weather and bring insect repellent.
