About the Business
Welcome to Kankakee Sands - Birding Overlook!
Nestled in the heart of Northwest Indiana, Kankakee Sands is a stunning 8,400-acre prairie and wetland restoration managed by the Indiana chapter of The Nature Conservancy. This vibrant ecosystem connects with other natural treasures like Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area, Beaver Lake Nature Preserve, and Conrad Savanna Nature Preserve, creating a vast expanse of over 20,000 acres of diverse habitats.
Kankakee Sands is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, offering a unique opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of prairies, sand blows, sedge meadows, wetlands, and black oak savannas. It is home to more than 240 bird species, including rare ones like the Henslow’s sparrow and northern harrier, making it a premier destination for bird watchers. The area also supports a remarkable diversity of wildlife, including 70 butterfly species, over 900 moth species, as well as dragonflies, frogs, lizards, and the majestic bison.
While our Bison Viewing Area and some facilities are temporarily closed for a makeover, the Grace Teninga Discovery Trail and Conrad Station Savanna remain open for exploration. Stay updated on our progress by visiting our Facebook page at facebook.com/TNCindiana.
Embark on a self-guided adventure through our trails, enjoy a driving tour, or participate in one of our scheduled workdays or events for an immersive prairie experience. Discover the historical significance of this land, once part of the Grand Kankakee Marsh system, and learn about our ongoing efforts to restore it to its natural splendor.
For a memorable visit, stop by the Visitor Kiosk in front of the Kankakee Sands office to gather the latest news and activity guides. Whether you're here for a quick stop or a full day, Kankakee Sands promises a journey into the beauty and diversity of Indiana's natural landscapes.
