Very beautiful! Love watching the bison, although I do wish there was more walking trails but it’s so nice seeing them! I just love seeing native plants and I brought my parents too and taught them about how native Americans used to rely on bison a lot and the history of colonizers killing bison to drive them off the land etc.

Had a great time. Walked the little trail by the visitor area as well as the Stone Barn Savanna trail. Had a great time hiking, bird watching, and seeing the Bison. Beautiful prairies and wooded trails. Will definitely be visiting again.

We found two bison today on stone bridge road side of Nachusa. Always an adventure locating these big guys/gals in the long grass. We love the grasslands

Dropped by on 2 Nov after being at Kankakee’s re-opening. This visitor center is pretty self service. There was some planned burning around, so could be a reason why we cannot see any bisons from this POV. We drove and walk at Stone Barn savannah trail and there’s where you want to be 😊

Incredible place, over 4000 acres of remnant and restored prairie. Great interpretative center with bathrooms and water, unmanned. Over 700 species of plants many rare or endangered. Bison herd to manage grasslands but this is not a zoo, the bison are doing their thing and you may not see them. Trails from visitor center but also other locations. Maps available at this location.

I saw a post on Facebook of this place and fell in love with the scenery! I was surprised to see bison not more than an hours drive away! I made sure to get out and take some fall color photos and see if I could see any bison. Beautuful area! The trail around was roughly a half mile and neat to walk around. The bison unfortunately weren't out in the prairie, but still spotted some up the road from the visitor center. Great for kids and adults. Great way to enjoy nature and beauty of IL!

Please go visit here if you are anywhere in the area! So peaceful. Such great educational historical info, wonderful easy walking path through the prairie grasslands. Gorgeous views especially at sunset. Seeing the Buffalo was so exciting!! Go down the side road to the honey man for fresh local honey. He sells it honor system in front of his house. It's delicious. Side road is also another good chance to find the Buffalo if you didn't see him in the main Prairie

Nachusa Grasslands in a fantastic place and the visitor center is very nice. It's a huge place, so the bison are not always visible from the center. There a short path to do a little walking while there, and a lot of educational info posted all over the shelter. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
