Small nature preserve with forested trails, prairie, ponds and a boardwalk—great for intimate landscape, wetland/waterscape scenes and birdlife. Best at golden hours for soft light and reflections; spring for wildflowers and migration, fall for color. Trails and boardwalks are accessible from on-site parking; modest terrain and seasonal mud—bring waterproof shoes. No strict entry fee but check center hours and programs before visiting; weekdays are quieter.
