Cottonwood Sporting Club

Cottonwood Sporting Club is a Texas outdoor recreation and conservation destination formed around three historic Dallas County properties: Bois d’Arc Island, Cottonwood, and Bluebird Farm. Set along the Trinity River, the properties bring together rich local history, varied landscapes, abundant wildlife, and opportunities for sporting enthusiasts. Since acquiring land in the area, the club has focused on improving wildlife habitat and developing recreational features while preserving the character of the properties.

The landscape includes river channels, wetlands, sloughs, mature oak stands, and former borrow-pit ponds that support diverse wildlife and provide habitat suited to species such as wood ducks. Members can experience the club’s outdoor setting through sporting and recreational pursuits, with the properties’ history and ecology contributing to the visit. Nature’s Eye began assembling and enhancing Trinity River properties in 2021, and in 2024 a partnership brought together additional land and conservation-minded sportsmen to establish Cottonwood Sporting Club, LLC. The club’s vision combines thoughtful habitat development with a distinctive connection to the region’s heritage.
