Marshy wetland with boardwalks, cattails, open water and abundant birdlife — great for reflections, close-up waterfowl, and seasonal color. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and mist; spring & fall for migrants; after rain for dramatic reflections. Small parking area off Lake Ridge Rd; trails and boardwalks are mostly flat and stroller-accessible. No admission fee. Bring bug spray in summer and expect soft light under overcast skies.
