Preserve Features
Cottonwood Creek winds through this Preserve which also features meadows and pecan trees that date back to 200 years or more. A two-mile soft-surface trail along the creek is marked with interpretative signage to high-light points of interest.
Preserve History
The property's original owners grazed cattle, farmed, and grew pecan trees on the site. Their decendants desired that this property remain as nearly as it was over 100 years ago, and it became a part of the County's open space system in 1989. The Preserve is now the largest park in Wilmer.
Preserve Amenities
Besides the natural-surface trail and its interpretative signage, the Preserve also offers its visitors paved parking and a picnic pavilion with tables and grills.
