A compact, easy loop through mixed hardwoods and creek-side sections ideal for intimate nature and seasonal-color shots. Photograph winding trails, reflections in the stream after rain, understory details and late-afternoon light filtering through trees. Best at golden hour or after light rain for saturated colors; autumn offers peak foliage. Trail is mostly flat and accessible with parking near 1401 W 5th St; no fee. Weekday mornings are quieter. Be prepared for muddy sections and ticks in warm
