Center Schedule:

Open Hours: 9:00am - 4:00pm

Located southwest of downtown Dallas, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment, an area in Cedar Hill with rolling hills. Plants and animals from east, west, and central Texas converge here. Audubon owns or manages more than 200 acres of nearly pristine wildlife habitat in the canyon, and because the property neighbors school, county, and state lands, it is part of a nearly 3,000-acre greenbelt in southwest Dallas County.

Explore Dogwood Canyon, whether for bird watching, hiking, volunteering or nature programs, and you will find a relaxing experience connecting with nature.
