Score4.2Small riverside park in Grottoes with tree-lined trails, open lawns, and views of the South River. Good for intimate landscape, seasonal foliage and long-exposure waterscape shots. Easy access off 20th St with roadside parking and picnic areas; no fee. Best light is sunrise and golden hour along the river; late fall brings strong color. Weekday mornings are quiet; expect muddy trails after rain and bring insect repellent in summer.
