Small coastal preserve with mixed forest, wetlands, meadows and a boardwalk over marsh—excellent for birdlife, seasonal wildflowers, reflections and intimate landscape compositions. Best at golden hours and during spring/fall migrations; calm mornings give mirror-like water. Easy roadside parking on Powell Rd and short, flat trails make it accessible; no permit typically required. Expect bugs in summer and muddy sections after rain.
