The trails at Millican Reserve offer a way to experience the land up close, whether you’re hiking, biking, running, or riding. Winding through the post oak savannah, they take you through woodlands, across open meadows, and along quiet creek beds, revealing the landscape’s natural beauty at every turn. These private trails are carefully maintained to protect the ecosystems they pass through while providing a space for recreation and connection to nature. They are an important part of the Conservancy’s mission, encouraging outdoor exploration while preserving the land for future generations.
