Small but varied Cleveland Metroparks site with forested trails, marsh boardwalks, the Buttermilk Falls stream corridor and good songbird and waterfowl habitat. Shoot intimate woodland scenes, long-exposure cascades after rain, and spring/fall color. Best at golden hour or after storms for flowing water; spring migration and fall foliage are prime. Weekday mornings are quiet. Free park entry and a paved lot at the nature center; some boardwalks are wheelchair-friendly but many trails are uneven.
