A compact Ann Arbor preserve of oak woodland, marshy wetlands and winding trails — great for intimate nature and landscape shots: twisted trunks, understory light, reflections in shallow ponds, spring wildflowers and fall color. Visit at dawn or dusk for soft golden/blue hour light and mist over the marsh. Trails and short boardwalks are easy to walk; no entry fee but parking is limited, so arrive early on weekends. Seasonal changes (spring frogs/migrations, autumn leaves) make repeat visits pay
