This was such a peaceful, lovely way to spend time with the family in one of the rare green areas here! This was a good hike and great place to take pictures.

Walking the pathway took ~45 minutes, stopping at most lookouts. Nice place to take in nature and relax for a while. Educational plaques all around. Parking somewhat limited.

👎not there fault but tons of construction going on around so GPS rerouted me 1-2x adding additional 10-15 min drive time. 👎No dogs is super lame, especially for responsible pet owners. What about service animals? 👍some shaded parts to trail, a must in hot 🏜️ Midland

WHAT AN AMAZING WILDLIFE PRESERVE! This place is amazing for a nice walk with family, friends or even by yourself. The loop around the preserve is about 1.45 miles long with a few turn outs into heavily wooded areas or views of the lake. I called before coming in to ask if I was able to jog and they said their guidelines were to be courteous to others walking on the trails. When you enter drive down the dirt rocky road until you see gates, keep going straight ahead and enter the round about and park anywhere. When you enter the gates there’s directions around the preserve but for my first time I went off google maps to see where I was around the park to not get lost. About 70% of the trails are shaded and the rest are exposed to the sun. Place has some bridges to have a epic scenery of the entire preserve, Enjoy your walk and take some water. Place accepts donations.

The Wildlife Pressure was suggested to us by a friend and I am glad we finally made time to come walk the trail. We come out to Midland and Odessa every few months and I have never seen so much greenery in the area! It is beautiful! They had ample signs about closing times and wildlife cautions. The entire family had fun on the trail and it was very easy to walk. We will definitely be going back.
