Small riverside preserve with meandering stream, wetlands, woodland edges and seasonal marshes — ideal for intimate landscape and wildlife shots (waterfowl, songbirds, frogs). Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on reeds; late spring–early summer for breeding birds and lush greens. Accessible trails and parking at 9104 W Mequon Rd; mostly flat, easy walking but bring insect repellent. No entry fee; respect wildlife and stay on paths.
