Dallas Prairie Tour 55 min

Discover a pocket of prairie in the heart of east Dallas on this 55-minute Dallas Prairie Tour. Near White Rock Lake, remnants of the Blackland prairie preserve a landscape once widespread across the region, with less than 1% estimated to remain statewide.

Walk and lightly hike through grasses and wildflowers as your guide shares the prairie’s history, ecology, and traditional uses by Native peoples. Along the way, learn about the plants, birds, insects, and other small wildlife that depend on this distinctive habitat. The route may pass through tall grasses, so long pants and closed-toed shoes are recommended. Bring sun protection and a refillable water bottle; water is not provided, and there is no public restroom within walking distance.

Meet near the pavilion after parking off Scout Hill Dr, with overflow parking available by the water off E Lawther Dr. Choose this Dallas Prairie Tour for a closer look at a rare local ecosystem and the life it supports.
