Reviews of Kankakee Sands - Bison Viewing
"I live just 5 minutes from here. And I love to go there and fly my drone. Also just to be outdoors aot 1 with nature. The Buffalo are usually visible. Pluss plenty of babies to. No tickets needed. It's free to view."
"My significant other and I stopped at the Nature Conservancy first and found out there was a Bison Viewing Area very close. That was random for me to find out and exciting all at once! They had quite a few information boards posted on the site. I read through all of those to better understand my surroundings and see what it was all about. I’m glad I did, because I learned a lot of cool facts about bison! We walked to the left of the area on the east side to a Trailhead. We reached the end fairly fast. There was a bench that I sat at for a moment and after that there was an Electric Fence! We turned around and went to the other Trailhead in the Bison Viewing Area that was more on the west side. It was another short walk to the end, but this one was where we were able to view the bison from afar. Even though they were far away, it was still calming to see them in their herd. They did have a portable toilet on the site. It was actually clean! Overall, this was more of a self-guided walking adventure. I recommend stopping at the Nature Conservancy before going to the Bison Viewing Area. I was impressed that this place existed and I’m glad that I came! I won’t hesitate to return in the future.

"This place is easy to get to, good for big motorhomes too. We're 50' nose to tail and had plenty of room to turn around. Unfortunately we did not see any bison. Nice, short easy trails. We were here on a Sunday and it was not crowded."
"This is a nice sized bison heard. Visible from the trail. Beautiful prairie."
"For what it is, this is one of the coolest places to observe wildlife in Indiana after Wolf Park. It’s a vast reserve for bison to roam, and I mean vast, so photographers, bring super telephotos and teleconverters. If you have binoculars, bring them. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere so maybe bring a water and snack for yourself. I went several times in the winter and was consistently the only person around. So set your expectations. But it was great to get some pictures."
