Small riverside preserve on the Rock River corridor with boardwalks, marsh edges and open river vistas—great for birding, reflections, seasonal color and intimate wetland details. Easy flat trails and a small parking area off River Dr; no fees. Best at golden hour for warm light on reeds, at spring/fall migration for birds, or after rain for strong reflections. Expect mosquitoes in summer; bring boots for muddy sections.
