This Wild Bison Herd In North Dakota Can Be Viewed At Sullys Hill

North Dakota has a reputation for being big fans of Bison. The NDSU Bison win championships pretty much yearly, the world’s “largest” bison Dakota Thunder stands in Jamestown at a towering 26 feet high, and the state’s beautiful Theodore Roosevelt National Park is teeming with hundreds of them roaming the badlands. Did you know there is another place far from the western region of ND to view wild bison herds? That’s right – you don’t have to go out all the way to Medora to see them. Plus, by visiting this particular place you get the added bonus of being in a gorgeous park. Check it out for yourself:

Take a trip to the stunning Sullys Hill National Game Preserve to experience the natural beauty and wildlife viewing opportunities.

You can ascend to the top of the hill to get a fantastic view of Devils Lake. Sullys Hill was originally established as a national park and later made a game preserve to serve as a breeding ground for thousands of animals.

One of those types of animals is the majestic bison. You're likely to see some during your visit, maybe before you even park your car!

Bison roam Sullys Hill in decently sized herds and if you visit at the right time of the year you might even see some adorable calves.

Bison are very large and strong creatures, so be sure to keep your distance and never attempt to directly interact with them. You can admire them from afar as they roam the park.

Sullys Hill is great for viewing all sorts of wildlife other than bison, too. Prairie dogs, elk, deer, coyotes, and a multitude of birds call this area home.

This destination is also great for flower lovers as it fills with wildflowers during the warm months. Who wouldn't love walking through a field of these?

From the spectacular lake views to being able to enjoy seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, there's nothing not to love about Sullys Hill National Game Preserve. It's a North Dakota treasure!

You can visit Sullys Hill National Game Preserve off of ND Highway 57 in St. Michael, North Dakota, about 10 miles south of the city of Devils Lake. For more information about the preserve, click here.
