Tallgrass prairie remnant with rolling native grasses, seasonal wildflowers, butterflies and grassland birds. Shoot wide vistas at golden hour, intimate macro studies of blooms and insects, and birding from trail edges. Best in late spring–early summer for blooms and migratory birds; fall for warm tones. Trails and boardwalks are mostly flat and accessible; small parking area on Tipp-Elizabeth Rd. No entry fee typically; expect fewer visitors on weekdays and at dawn.
