Small, varied riverside reservation featuring Beaver Creek, marshy wetlands, wooded trails and boardwalks — great for intimate landscape, water-reflection and wildlife shots. Best at golden hours for warm light and smooth creek reflections; spring for migrant songbirds and wildflowers, fall for color along the riparian corridor. Trails are mostly flat but can be muddy after rain; free public access with roadside parking near 913 N Lake St. Expect few crowds on weekdays; bring insect repellent in
