"We arrived around 9am, not knowing exactly what to expect. Near the beginning of the circle we saw 3 male elk off in the trees .As we continued to navigated the circle we saw droppings and a heavily travelled path, but nothing else, we thought perhaps we arrived too late, as previous reviews suggested arrive early morning or right before sunset. As we neared the end we spotted 3 more male elk grazing off in the distance, rounding the corner only to be in sight of a herd of bison crossing the road and a group of elk lying in the shade. We were there for quite some time as the bison crossed the road. At one point my car was surrounded by them. I wasn’t quite sure if I should stay put or drive on. We waited until the vast majority crossed the street and then VERY slowly continued on our journey. It was a very interesting journey, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."
"Mid sep and oct is good time to visit. I visited 10/7, Try going early morning before 10.30AM and also between 5PM to 7PM where its best chance to see elk and bisons in herd. See pics."
"Only $5.00 per car for entry, and definitely worth it! We had a wonderful time observing the Elk, Bison, and Turkeys! The current population is listed as 60 Elk and 70 Bison. The day we went, we were able to see 5 Elk, 12 Turkeys, and about 30 Bison. We made two loops through the prairie and took it all in thoroughly. I definitely recommend visiting this place if you're interested in wildlife and in the area!"
"We went last night at 430pm. Stopped and talked to a volunteer who showed us some Elk horns. They said they hadn't seen many bison this season but it was the end of the elk rut so there may be some out. We saw SO many elk! Then the next day at 10am we decided to just stop by again and see if there was any chance we'd see the elk again. We got a HUGE (literal) surprise when not only did we see elk but also around 40 bison!! Such a cool experience"
"What an adventure driving the 3.5 miles loop through the 700 acre Elk and Bison prairie reserve which was like a Safari. We got stuck in the middle of a Bison herd for about an hour. We had a few Bison rubbing against the front of our truck making it shake hard. You will see stunning native grasslands as would have been 200 years ago. The herds are around 50 Elk and 50 Bison. The $5.00 fee to enter is money well spent to maintain this incredible habitat. I tried to get Diana to stand beside a Bison for a picture but no luck. Lol"
