Wooded ridges, creek crossings, boardwalks and overlooks within the largest municipal urban forest east of the Mississippi offer diverse nature and landscape shots — seasonal fall color, spring wildflowers, misty mornings and small waterfalls. Best at golden hour or early morning for low light, fog and wildlife; parking and trailhead at the Environmental Education Center (check hours; no entrance fee). Many trails are moderate; some viewpoints require short hikes. Weekdays are quieter.
