Small parking lot and trailhead giving access to the Canal Branch waterway and riverside trails. Expect wooded paths, marshy edges and reflective water channels good for intimate landscapes, water reflections and birdlife. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and glassy water; late winter/early spring for clearer views and migrating waterfowl. Accessible via paved lot at 8670 US‑321; short walks from parking but trails can be muddy—wear boots. No fees; quiet on weekday mornings.
