The Voas Nature Area is a 705 acre park located approximately 1½ miles west of Minburn. The initial 265 acres were donated to the Dallas County Conservation Board by Lyle and Mae Voas. Both brother and sister had a desire to see their family farmland restored to a native prairie and forest condition similar to pre-Euro-American settlement. They intended for the area to become a wildlife refuge and educational center. Additional land has since been acquired, much of it for wetland mitigation initiatives.
From the town of Minburn, take Baker St, to 187th Rd west about 2 miles. The nature area is on the right.

The Voas Nature Area is diverse in habitat, including 90 acres of oak/hickory forest with most of the remaining acres being a prairie and wetland complex. This is a public hunting area.
