Small protected wetlands and mixed forest with meandering brook, boardwalks and vernal pools — ideal for birding, intimate landscapes, macro of mushrooms and spring wildflowers. Visit at dawn for songbirds and mist over water, or during fall color. Trails are short and family-friendly; on-site parking and no formal entry fee (donations welcome). Weekday mornings offer the fewest people; expect muddy sections after rain.
