Activities:

Welcome to Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge was established in 1999 in order to help protect one of the last remaining stands of northern tallgrass prairie in the states of Iowa and Minnesota. It is estimated that there were once over 25 million acres of northern tallgrass prairie in Iowa and Minnesota but today that number is down to approximately 300,000. Presently the refuge is only 1,800 acres in size but expansion plans are in the books.
Wildlife: Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge helps protect the home of numerous wild critters including beavers, deer, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, skunks, muskrats, and 33 reptile and amphibian species. Please treat their home with respect.
For the lover of the outdoors this refuge boasts awesome wildlife viewing opportunities and so much more. Come on out and have a blast!
