Things To Know Before You Come
 

Visitor Center and restroom construction is well under way. Please proceed with caution as you enter the driveway to the parking lot, read all signs, and check Facebook for more frequent updates.

Please continue to call ahead (620-273-8494) for tour availability due to major construction projects occurring in 2012.

Windmill Pasture is home to the preserve's bison herd. Some hiking trails bisect the bison area. 

Please do not attempt to pet or come in close contact with the bison. Though they often appear docile, bison are wild animals and will attack when threatened. Please keep a safe distance when hiking.

Southwind Nature Trail at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve

Did You Know?
A single blade of big bluestem might have a root system descending over 8 feet underground. This is deep enough so that the plant will emerge in the spring even without rainfall. Big bluestem grows abundantly on the Southwind Nature Trail.
