Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary

Perhaps one of Williamson County’s best-kept secrets, this private nature sanctuary sits on 300 acres of breathtakingly beautiful green space, sheltering the 2,000 species of flora and fauna that thrive in its hills, forests, creek, pond, and meadows. If you love hiking and the outdoors, consider Owl’s Hill a must-see attraction.

Buy a day pass before your visit (only a handful are available each day) and explore this mini-paradise for yourself; you’ll see all sorts of surprises along the trails. Owl’s Hill is particularly beautiful in the springtime, when a profusion of wildflowers fill its forests and meadows. If you’re bringing kids on your hike, consider renting wild explorer backpacks when you arrive – They’re filled with fun nature activities to make your family ramble even more enjoyable. 

Children will also love visiting the sanctuary’s owls, which reside in pens on the property near the entrance and serve as wildlife ambassadors. Special programming is offered at Owl’s Hill for all ages throughout the year, including guided hikes, nature workshops, family geocaching events, children’s nature programs, and more.
