Small Midwestern preserve with marshes, meadows and wooded trails offering close-up wildlife, wetland reflections and seasonal wildflowers. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset for low-angle light and mist over water; spring and fall bring migratory birds and color. Easy gravel parking on County Road 52; trails are mostly flat but can be muddy—bring waterproof boots. No fees; respectful quiet helps with wildlife.
