Butterfly Lake

Score4.1

Small urban lake with calm water, reed beds and cottonwoods offering mirror reflections, migratory waterfowl and seasonal color. Ideal at golden hour for warm tones and at spring/fall migration for bird activity. Easy access from nearby parking and paved paths; no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quieter; expect mosquitoes in summer. Winter offers stark minimalist scenes and ice patterns.
