Cedar Mountain Preserve

Cedar Mountain Preserve

Cedar Hill, Texas, 123 Acres

Preserve Features

Ceder Mountain Preserve offers visitors a number of interesting features and experiences that cannot be found at any other preserve. At over 700 feet above sea lecedar mountain mapvel, this 123-acre contains some of the highest elevation points in Dallas County.

The preserve is part of an area where two distinct geological formations--a limestone escarpment and blackland prairie--converge.

Such a convergence creates a habitat for plant and animal species that are usually found in east, west, and central Texas.

Cedar Mountain is also located immediately adjacent to the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center. This property contains what is regarded as being perhaps the most southwesternly naturally-occuring population of dogwoods in the U.S.

Preserve Amenities

It also has a two-mile natural surface trail that explores the area's various ecosystems. Educational programs and restroom facilities are also available at the nearby Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center.
