Small wetland and riparian refuge with reeds, open water and seasonal waterfowl—ideal for bird and marsh-landscape shots. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and mirror-like reflections; migratory peaks (spring/fall) offer greatest species variety. Easy access from Middleton with roadside parking and short trails; mostly flat, wheelchair-accessible sections. No gate fees; expect mosquitoes in summer and icy edges in winter—dress accordingly.
