Dallas County Parks & Open Space|| Guided Hike at Goat Island Preserve with Ranger Casey (AT)
Saturday, August 23, 2025 | 8:00am – 10:00am    CT

Dallas County Parks & Open Space Park Ranger Casey Carter will be leading at Goat Island Preserve.

Description Join us for a guided hike at Goat Island Preserve on Saturday, August 23rd, from 8am-10am, led by Ranger Casey. Whether you are an experienced hiker or stepping onto the trail for the first time, all are welcome! We’ll cover about two miles, with lots of opportunities to pause, rehydrate, and soak in the surroundings.

This preserve features eight miles of soft surface trails and stunning views of the Trinity River. Though surrounded by industrial properties, its relative seclusion results in fewer visitors, making it a hidden gem well worth exploring. Don’t miss the chance to discover the beauty of the preserve and learn more about its unique landscape.

Location:  Goat Island Preserve, 2800 Post Oak Road, Hutchins, TX 75141. The google maps link will take you to the parking lot.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/yEftxu5friRzxeDx6
