Spring Creek Forest Preserve, Protected forest in Garland, Texas.

Spring Creek Forest Preserve spans 69 acres of land with white chalk banks along Spring Creek and numerous walking trails through dense woodland.

The forest preserve, established in 1988, received its current name in 2002 to honor Lee F. Jackson, who expanded Dallas County open spaces.

Scientists and naturalists conduct research in this forest, which contains one of the remaining old-growth forests in the Blackland Prairie eco-zone.

The preserve offers paved parking areas, restroom facilities, picnic pavilions, and both natural surface and hard surface trails for visitors.

Trees in the preserve range from 100 to 300 years old, featuring dominant species like shumard oak, chinkapin oak, bur oak, and pecan.
