Small, tranquil reservoir framed by rolling East Bay hills — great for reflective water shots, shorelines, seasonal wildflowers and waterfowl. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm side-light and mirror reflections; sunsets can yield color on the hills. Accessible via nearby trailheads; limited parking so arrive early on weekends. No fees typical; dress for wind and bring waterproof footwear for shore compositions.
