Woodland trails, river bends and wetlands at Gaston's offer intimate landscape and wildlife shots — migrating waterfowl, songbirds, deer and seasonal wildflowers. Best light is golden hour at sunrise and sunset; spring and fall are peak for color and bird activity. Trails are mostly low-impact dirt with some boardwalks; small parking area off River Rd. Expect limited facilities and carry water, insect repellent and a telephoto for shy wildlife.
