Carney Marsh, Polk County Conservation Board
Carney Marsh is a compact wetland preserve with boardwalks, cattails, shallow pools and abundant waterfowl—excellent for intimate marsh landscapes, bird behavior shots and reflective waterscapes. Visit at sunrise or just before sunset for warm side lighting and glassy reflections; spring and fall migrations offer peak bird activity. Trails and a small parking area off NE 70th Ave provide easy, typically free access; boardwalks limit tripod placement but allow close-to-water low-angle views. Week
