Preserve History
McCommas Bluff Preserve was acquired in 1985 via Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grant funding. The remains of a lock and dam that were part of a never-completed early 1900s Trinity River navigation system can be seen from this preserve. The Sallie Haynes, a river boat, made several trips along this stretch of the river before the canal project was ultimately abandoned.
