Bob Jones Nature Center & Preserve
A 758-acre preserve protecting one of the last intact stretches of Cross Timbers forest in North Texas. The trails are short (topping out around two miles) and easy enough for toddlers, which makes this an excellent first hiking spot for very young families. Over 1,100 species of plants and animals have been documented here, and the nature center runs hands-on programs for kids throughout the year that are consistently well-organized and engaging.
