John Margis JR Wildlife Area
Score4.2Small lakes/ponds linked by a boardwalk and a wooden bridge framed by cattails and lily pads — ideal for intimate wildlife and waterscape shots. Expect turtles, geese and songbirds; spring/fall migration used to be stronger but birds remain. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and reflections. Accessible, flat paths and ample parking; no restrooms. Watch for animal holes on paths and leash-free dogs during busy times.
