Wooded preserve with miles of trails, a photogenic waterfall, seasonal foliage and open disc-golf fields — great for landscape and nature shots year-round. Best in fall late-afternoon golden hour or at sunrise for mist and quiet. Parking available at Crystal Lake Rd lot; no gate fee. Weekends can be busy with tournaments and events; many paths are well‑maintained but bring waterproof shoes for creekside access.
