Excellent free, quiet spot for training miles.
I visited Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center after Cedar Hill State Park had all unpaved trails closed due to mud and ice, and this turned out to be a great alternative.
The park is free to enter, with an option to donate if you want to support the center. You do need to register at the visitor center before heading out on the trails, which is quick and s

We visited in winter after snow storm. Some of the trails were closed because of it. There was a half mile trail open for kids, we took that one. It was accessible with a stroller. There were some poems and pictures posted along the way for kids, and we liked it. We like mountains, so we're glad to see the hills near Dallas. The parking area is spacious and free. Entrance to the trail is free, but

Overall I enjoyed my visit at this Audubon center and trail which previously I went to the Trinity River Audubon center.

Many benches available to si

Located in the Dallas Hill Country (SW area). This urban paradise offers walking trails and great birdwatching. I highly recommend visiting this nature sanctuary

We walked the new paved path. The trail head starts at dogwood. You can choose to hike the looped trails that are in a natural area or walk the paved trail.
There is an area that is being finished, but you can still walk through it.
It’s next to the the road that is very busy, so probably not good for children.
We enjoyed it very much and will be back. Great for bikes.
