Small historic riverside park marking the portage between the Des Plaines and Chicago Rivers. Photograph reed-lined marshes, the interpretive sculpture and signage, and the juxtaposition of natural corridors with nearby infrastructure. Easy parking and bike access; trails are short (1 mile), partially paved. Best at golden hour or sunrise for warm side-light and low crowds; weekdays quieter. No entry fee; accessible but bring boots after heavy rain.
