Score4.2Quiet inland lakes, mixed hardwood-pine shoreline and wetland edges offer reflective water scenes, boardwalks and marsh birds. Best at sunrise and golden hour for glassy reflections and backlit trees; autumn yields vivid color. Small trail system and limited parking off Ellsworth Rd; no fees typically. Expect bugs in summer and muddy trails after rain—bring boots and bug spray. Weekday mornings are least crowded; pack a canoe/kayak for varied vantage points.
