Small glacial-moraine preserve with oak/shagbark hickory savanna, restored prairie, a kettle pond and boardwalks — ideal for intimate nature, seasonal color and wildlife shots. Easy gravel parking, level grassy trails; no biking and park closed dusk–dawn. Best light: golden hour for warm prairie tones; spring/fall for migratory birds and foliage. Boardwalk sections can be damaged—use caution and access deeper trails for quieter compositions.
