Small urban nature preserve with wetlands, creek channels, boardwalks and mature trees — great for intimate landscape, birding and macro shots. Best light at sunrise or late afternoon golden hour when reflections and warm tones enhance cattails and water. Spring/fall bring migrants and wildflowers; summer mornings avoid heat and bugs. Free entry with small parking lot on O Banion Rd; trails are mostly flat and partially boardwalked—bring waterproof shoes and insect repellent.
