Small prairie and wetland preserve with tallgrass, seasonal wildflowers, boardwalks and a pond—good for intimate landscapes, birdlife and macro plant shots. Visit spring–early autumn for blooms and migration; sunrise and golden hour provide warm side light. Easily reached from NE Elm St with roadside parking and short trails; likely no fee. Weekdays are quieter; check weather for winds that flatten grasses.
