Small high‑desert wetland and riparian trail weaving Cottonwood Creek through sagebrush, cottonwoods and seasonal marshes. Excellent for birdlife, reflections, intimate landscapes and textures. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and calm water; late spring brings migratory birds and lush green contrast. Easy, flat trail with parking at the park entrance; no permit required. Weekday mornings reduce crowds. Weather is continental — bring layers and sun protection.
