Small riverside reserve with marsh, prairie and woodland edges along the Rock River—great for birdlife, reflections, seasonal wildflowers and fall color. Trails and a boardwalk offer intimate angles of wetlands; easy parking and no entry fee. Best at dawn for active birds and mist over water, golden hour for warm side-light on grasses. Accessible, walkable terrain; bring insect repellent in spring/summer.
