Come and enjoy 800 acres of wetland habitat located just 23 miles southeast of Dallas. Enjoy walking on the boardwalk, walking the trail down to the East Fork of the Trinity River or enjoying one of our guided walks. Located in the middle of the 2000 acre East Fork Wetland Project, the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center provides education and research opportunities pertaining to water conservation, wetland systems and wildlife management. We also offer school programs, special public events, birthday parties and outreach programs. We have been called "the social distance dream" location, with the ability to wander our 15 miles of trails and enjoy the solitude the wetland has to offer.
