Small county park on Perch Lake offering marshy shorelines, boardwalks and mixed hardwoods — great for reflective waterscapes, migratory birds, and intimate landscape frames. Best at golden hours and in fall for color; dawn and weekday mornings have the fewest people and best bird activity. Accessible parking at the trailhead; mostly flat, easy trails and boardwalks suitable for backpacks and tripods. No entry fee; respect wildlife and seasonal nesting closures.
