Trailhead to riverside boardwalks and mixed hardwood forest lining the Au Sable/Canoe Harbor area — great for river reflections, flowing-water shots, seasonal color (especially fall) and intimate woodland compositions. Easy parking at Canoe Harbor Rd; trails are mostly flat and accessible; expect bugs in summer. Best light at sunrise or golden hour; overcast days are excellent for even forest light. No fees; respect anglers and paddlers.
