Gatewood Preserve Battle Creek

Both daily and through the seasons, the view of Battle Creek from the Gatewood Preserve pier offers a dynamic ecosystem.  The bald cypress trees stand as sentinels year-round, their feathery green needles turning russet in fall and leaving behind striking silhouettes in winter. As with the tide, the scene shifts daily. In winter, the creek transforms into a serene, frosty scene, with icy patterns on the water, showcasing nature's evolving beauty year-round. Each season brings its own mood, textures, and light, perfect for capturing nature's changing beauty.
