This is the official site of the Friends of the Mineola Nature Preserve, Mineola Texas.

The 2,900-acre Preserve is on the Sabine River in East Texas.

The park, funded in part by Texas Parks & Wildlife and the City of Mineola, was created to preserve a wetlands area for bird-watching, hiking, fishing, picnicking and other activities.

Phase I construction (completed July, 2006) includes a pavilion overlooking a wildlife viewing area, three miles of walking and nature trails, a canoe rest station, a picnic area and a playground. The property also includes a pond stocked with fish.

The park is open daily from 7 am to sunset. Click here for directions.
