Woodhaven Swamp offers intimate cedar and alder wetlands with mirror-like water, floating logs, and dense moss — ideal for reflective compositions, moody mist shots in fall/winter, and close-up bird/amphibian images. Accessible via a short boardwalk/trail in Belcarra; small parking areas and seasonal mud can affect access. No entry fee; bring insect repellent and waterproof shoes. Best light is early morning for calm water and mist, or late afternoon for warm sidelighting; weekdays are quieter.
