Short loop along a shaded creek and wetland with boardwalks, riparian trees and seasonal wildflowers — great for close-up nature, birdlife and reflective waterscapes. Best at golden hour or overcast mornings for even light; spring brings songbirds and blooms, fall offers warm foliage. Easy, family-friendly trail with small parking area off Novelty Hill Rd; generally flat and accessible, no permit required. Weekday mornings are least crowded.
