With so many outdoor activities and events here, we've decided it's time to Go Natural! And no, that doesn't mean streaking is back in fashion! Visit Wichita Falls to discover our hike and bike trails, both concrete and rugged, for there are miles and miles of them. Add that to taking in the beauty of Lucy Park and River Bend Nature Center, mastering a skateboard at our new Skate Park, discovering the Wichita Mountains and attending extraordinary outdoor events throughout the year, and you'll find there is always something to enjoy in the great out-of-doors.
Watch a plethora of emerging butterflies in the chrysalis stage at River Bend Nature Center in the Ruby N. Priddy Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. River Bend also offers over 15 acres of trails, wetlands and ponds to walk and enjoy. The trails are normally always open during daytime hours with no admission fee. Come discover which bird species spend the winter in our woods or what creatures prowl the trails by night. The Bryant Edwards Learning Center and gift shop and the United Children's Garden were completed at the end of 2008. These beautiful facilities are a welcome addition to the Elizabeth Prothro Pavilion, a 6,700 sq. ft. covered outdoor gathering area that is popular for receptions, parties, family gatherings, class reunions and many special events.
