Small coastal preserve along the Little Traverse Wheelway with shoreline, marsh pockets, mixed forest and dunes — great for intimate landscapes, waterscapes and seasonal colors. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light on Lake Michigan and reflections; spring/fall for migrating birds and fall foliage. Easy access from Wheelway trailheads with limited roadside parking in Harbor Springs; no fee. Trails and boardwalks make compositions close to water and through understory easy; expect bugs in summer.
