This is a must stop for anyone remotely interested in birding & nature. Located in south San Antonio, the Mitchell Lake Audubon Center is stewarded by the Texas Audubon Society. The love and caring for this amazing area is readily apparent. Visitors can choose to hike some or all of the seven miles of available trails or take a break and watch birds feeding from the visitor center front porch. The visitors center is housed in a wonderful turn of the century home offering a resource room, small gift shop, drinks and even a few snacks to purchase. Bring a lunch and enjoy a relaxing moment watching the many birds that inhabit this 624-acre site. With a mixture of brushland, grassland, mud flats, shallow ponds, deep ponds, and a deep water lake. Mitchell Lake is positioned on a natural migratory bird route and serves as a resting point for tens of thousands of birds each year. In our travels around this beautiful country weve had the pleasure to visit many water treatment areas. Theyre the perfect places to see local and migrating birds. They’re also the perfect places to hike AND enjoy an areas local flora and fauna. Mitchell Lake Audubon Center stands out as a top must visit destination when visiting San Antonio. Check the local website for current visiting hours and special programs and tours. Currently, there is a entrance fee of $5 for adults and $2 for children.

This is a fantastic nature preserve for bird and insect enthusiasts! There is a huge biodiversity here with among the nature trails, heavily wooded areas, and the lake. All sorts of beautiful birds can be observed in the area, such as vireos, warblers, sparrows, flycatchers, titmice, gulls, herons, ducks, kestrels, and many more!
