Kankakee Sands Bison Viewing

Unfortunately there were no bison within viewing area when I visited which left me disappointed but it's to be expected.

Not many places to see bison roaming in Indiana. Look close, it's surprising how a 1,500 Lb. Animal can hide in a seemingly open field.

We we're so encouraged to see land being restored to what it originally was intended. Our only suggestion is to have an observation raised ramp with a viewing platform much like Jasper Pulaski has to view the sandhill cranes. The paths to walk up to the top of the viewing hill are not accessible for us who cannot walk very well. While we were there today, there were others who could not walk up those paths. We realize the expense and the possible disruption of the prairie, but without such a viewing platform with a walk up wheelchair ramp, so many of those who do care about the issues of restoring land, will not be able to view this beautiful expanse. A drop in lock box could accept donations to use such a viewing area. Thank you for your help in saving our lands.

Beautiful area. Like all preserves it's a bit or miss seeing a buffalo.

Love the Nature Conservancy and its efforts at this site. Really enjoy having the bison here and visit regularly. This is not a resort location, it is primitive as it should be so bring your own binoculars, snacks etc.
