Small county preserve featuring mixed hardwood forest, wetlands, prairie pockets and a meandering creek with boardwalks — great for intimate landscape scenes, seasonal wildflowers, migrating and resident birds, and autumn color. Best at golden hour and early morning fog; spring for blooms and birds, fall for foliage. Trails are modestly developed from the Bishop Rd parking area (no fee); expect uneven dirt paths and some muddy spots after rain. Weekday mornings are quieter; bring insect repeller
