About
Hackberry Pavilion is a day-use area located in Avalon Park on the south shores of Lavon Lake in Collin County, Texas. The facility features a large covered picnic pavilion that can accommodate up to 500 guests, making it popular for group gatherings and events. Adjacent to the pavilion is a sandy swimming beach that draws visitors during warm months. The lake is sourced by the East Fork tributary of the Trinity River and spans approximately 21,400 acres. The name "hackberry" refers to the deciduous tree common in the warm temperate region around the lake. Nearby attractions include the Trinity Trail for hiking and horseback riding, and the town of Wylie hosts a wildlife rescue and education center featuring big cats.
