Riverside park with a winding bend of the Cedar River, wetlands, boardwalks and mature trees — great for river curves, reflections, fall color and birdlife. Best at golden hour or overcast for rich reflections; spring and fall migrations boost wildlife. Accessible parking at lot on Riverside Dr; mostly level trails and boardwalks, free entry. Weekday mornings are quieter.
