Baker Sanctuary is a 715-acre reserve that provides a mature hardwood-juniper woodland habitat for the Golden-cheeked Warbler. These endangered songbird species nest exclusively in 29 counties in Central Texas. The sanctuary does not allow dogs or cyclists, as it disturbs the nesting birds, so plan accordingly for your visit. This beautiful sanctuary is an excellent place to explore, where you can also see the historic Baker cabin and the Baker family cemetery. The trail system is marked and offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the area's natural beauty while learning about the warblers and their habitat.
