The short-grass prairie spans 193,000 acres. Opportunities for recreation, wildlife study, sightseeing, photography and bird watching abound. This area, which is home to over 290 species, is nationally known to bird watchers. The Pawnee Buttes tower 250 feet above the prairie and are a popular destination for hikers, horseback riders and day-trippers.
