Small scenic reservoir with a tree-lined loop trail, open water reflections, a wooden dock, boaters and abundant birdlife. Best at sunrise and golden hour for calm water and warm light; foggy mornings offer mood. Accessible paved paths and a large parking lot off Mount Diablo Blvd; no fee for general use. Weekday mornings are least crowded. Good for intimate landscapes, reflections, and wildlife shots.
