A compact mix of grassland, wetlands and tree lines offering prime birding, migratory waterfowl and open prairie vistas. Best at dawn and dusk for low-angle light and active birds; spring and fall migrations bring the most species. Easy roadside parking and short walking trails—no fee. Expect bugs in summer; bring layers for chilly mornings. Good for intimate nature studies and expansive prairie compositions.
