Small trailhead on the Vermilion River offering riverside boardwalks, marsh edges and tree-lined trails — great for intimate riverscapes, reflections, fall color and birdlife. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light and long exposures; weekdays and early mornings reduce hikers. Accessible from roadside parking at 1775 Vermilion Rd with no fee; expect uneven dirt paths and seasonal mud.
