Small, accessible woodland preserve with winding trails, stands of mixed hardwoods, seasonal stream crossings and a boardwalk — strong for intimate forest compositions, close-up flora and birdlife, and fall color. Best at golden hour or after rain for saturated colors and reflections. Free entry with street parking on Richardson Ave (small lot); trails are mostly flat and family-friendly. Weekday mornings offer the fewest people.
