Event Description:
Nature enthusiasts of all ages are invited to explore Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve by boat or land during the preserve's grand opening celebration on Saturday, April 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Views of the lake, Cypress Creek, and wildlife such as egrets make this 80-acre preserve one of Precinct 4's most scenic greenspaces!
Activities include nature presentations plus canoeing and pontoon boat rides touring the preserve's 40-acre Marshall Lake. Visitors may also hike or bike the 1.7 miles of paved nature trails.
The preserve's construction began last year ahead of schedule thanks to a partnership with Prestonwood Forest Utility District. Eventually, the park will connect to the Prestonwood Forest community and the Cypress Creek Greenway.
In addition to its recreational benefits, the park serves as a natural detention facility that can help slow floodwaters and absorb run-off.
