TLC’s Malone Preserve—home to woodlands, pocket prairies, riparian bottomlands, and a riverfront spanning 1,700 feet along the Nolan River—is officially open to the public for one weekend per month in 2025!
Unless otherwise noted, our open preserve weekends do not feature planned programming. Instead, these weekends offer an opportunity for visitors to explore the preserve at their own pace, enjoying its natural beauty and diverse landscapes. Reservations are not required to attend open weekends, but you will need to follow the rules and safety guidelines when you are visiting the preserve (see below).
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is no overnight camping at this preserve. The Spring/Summer Preserve hours are 7am – 9pm on Saturday and Sunday. The gate will be locked at 9pm, so please make sure you are out of the parking lot by that time.
