Small wetland preserve with boardwalks, ponds and mixed hardwood edges—great for intimate landscapes, reflections, migratory and songbirds, and seasonal wildflowers. Best at golden hour for warm light on cattails and mirrored water; spring and fall offer peak bird activity. Trails and boardwalks are easy to moderate; parking available off Payne Ln. No fee reported; bring bug spray and a telephoto for shy wildlife. Weekday mornings are quieter.
