Small reservoir and oak-grassland near Orland offering reflective water, reed-lined shorelines and seasonal birdlife — good for serene landscapes, waterscapes and wildlife. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunset for warm light and reflections; late winter–spring brings highest water and migratory birds. Easy roadside access with parking at the recreation area; trails are short and mostly flat. Expect mosquitoes in summer; no special permits for day visits.
