2 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Big Creek Reservation
Small, accessible reserve with wooded trails, a meandering creek, stone bridges and seasonal wetlands—great for intimate nature and waterscape shots. Best at golden hour or after rain when stream flow and reflections pop; spring wildflowers and autumn color are highlights. Parking at Memphis Picnic Area trailhead; no fee. Trails are mostly easy to moderate; expect mosquitos in summer and muddy sections after rain. Weekday mornings are quiet.
Marquardt Park
Small suburban park with wooded trails, open lawn, a pond and wetlands — strong for seasonal nature shots (spring wildflowers, fall foliage, winter silhouettes). Easy public access with roadside parking; flat, stroller-friendly paths. Best lighting at golden hour along tree-lined trails and pond edges; weekdays and early mornings minimize visitors. No entry fee; watch for wet ground after rain.
