Tandy Hills Natural Area

Native prairie wildflowers and skyline views in Fort Worth

Ages 4–18+
Cost Free
Duration ~1hrs
Difficulty Moderate
Setting Outdoor

One of the last patches of untouched native prairie in North Texas, right on the edge of downtown Fort Worth. In spring the wildflower displays are spectacular, with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush carpeting the hillsides. Kids love scrambling up the hills for the panoramic skyline views from the top, and the trails are short enough that even less enthusiastic hikers can handle the full loop. A playground and picnic area near the trailhead round out the visit.
