    River Bend Nature Center is located in Wichita Falls, Texas at 2200 3rd Street near the entrance to city's largest municipal recreational area, Lucy Park. River Bend is nearing the end of the construction of its new facilities which started in 2005.

This development includes the newly opened Ruby N. Priddy Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, the J.S. Bridwell Terrace and the Prairie Pathways. The Bryant Edwards Learning Center and the United Children's Garden are scheduled for completion this spring.  These beautiful facilities are a welcome addition to the Elizabeth Prothro Pavilion, a 6,700 square foot covered outdoor gathering area that is becoming increasingly popular for receptions, parties, family gatherings, class reunions, and weddings.

    River Bend offers over 15 acres of trails, wetlands and ponds to walk and enjoy.  Come discover which bird species spend the winter in our woods or what creatures prowl our trails by night. Want a trained field guide to accompany you on your tour? We can arrange that for you, as well. 

   Administration office hours are weekdays 8:00-5:00. Our phone number is 940-767-0843. Call us to learn how to become a part of River Bend Nature Center.
