Small, varied preserve of woodlands, prairie, wetlands and boardwalks — great for intimate landscapes, seasonal colors, reflections and songbirds. Best at golden hour or dawn for soft light and bird activity; fall for foliage; winter for stark snow scenes. Trails are easy-to-moderate; parking at the trailhead (no fee). Preserve hours usually dawn–dusk. Expect mosquitoes in summer and limited facilities—bring water and bug spray.
