Small trailhead into a fossil-rich creek and sandstone outcrops in General Butler State Resort Park. Shoot close-up fossil impressions, textured rock ledges, creek reflections, and wooded frames. Best at golden hour or after light rain when fossils and shale contrast; spring/fall for foliage. Easy parking at the trailhead; short, uneven walk—sturdy shoes recommended. No fees; respect fragile fossils and follow park rules. Low light in canopy may require tripod.
