William C. Drda Woods
Score4.3Small hardwood preserve with winding trails, carpeted forest floor and creekside spots — strong for seasonal color, intimate woodland scenes and birdlife. Easy access from a roadside parking area; open year-round and typically free. Best at golden hours for warm side-lighting, spring for wildflowers and migration, fall for foliage. Weekday mornings are quieter; bring insect repellent after rain and a tripod for low-light understory shots.
