A peaceful 200-acre preserve with three miles of shaded trails winding through one of the most ecologically diverse canyons in North Texas. Kids gravitate to the unstructured nature play area where they can build with sticks, dig in dirt, and just be wild. The indoor Canyon View area lets families watch birds feeding right outside the windows, which is a reliable way to keep younger kids entertained on hot or rainy days. Guided day and night hikes are offered seasonally.
