Small urban riparian preserve with meandering creek, marshy pools and cottonwoods — great for intimate nature compositions, birdlife, reflections and seasonal color. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and fog; late spring migratory birds and autumn foliage are highlights. Easy access from trailhead parking on W Acoma Dr, no fee, mostly flat trails and boardwalks; expect families and dog walkers on weekends.
