Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center
Not Just the Best Birding Around....so Much More!
Since its opening in 2011, Dogwood Canyon has been the wild, special, rich-in-diversity place, where plants, animals, and people all live in harmony with each other. A 6,000 square foot Audubon Center greets you and serves as the starting point for the Dogwood Canyon Trails and over 200 acres of pristine forest.
Conveniently located just 16 miles southwest of Downtown Dallas, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. It is easily accessible within a 50-minute drive of four million people and 15 minutes from 24 schools who use the center for many educational field trips.
