lone elk park印象

We take grandkids and go before sunset when a lot of animals are out roaming. We see the animals in their habitat. It's fun to go in the summer to see the baby deer, buffalo and elk. You never know what you're going to find. There is also a Wild Bird Sanctuary in the park that is open to public. They have special events listed on line.

The females were very frisky around dusk this evening and the bull was very protective. People who were stupid enough to get out of their vehicle to 'get closer' to these wild animals seemed surprised when the bull charged at them. At 11 points, he is not to be taken lightly. The bison side of the park was closed to motorists today. But as always, this was a great way to spend the late afternoon.

A lovely drive through the park, spotted elk and bison. Beautiful scenery and exciting for the children to seek out the animals

We like to drive through and look for animals. Usually we can see deer and elk. Bison are sometimes hard to find. I am hoping to picnic or hike here soon.

We took our little "almost granddaughter" there last Friday (Jan 2, 2015). Cold damp day and we could stay in the car. The elk are mating so we saw a big herd right next to the road-almost too close for comfort. We watched them for a while and then moved on. Before we left, we saw a herd of buffalo right by the road. We stopped and shortly, they started crossing the road right in front of us. They got way to close to our car and they are so BIG up close. We enjoyed the drive to the park, the drive in the park and then we went to the Bird Sanctuary next to Lone Elk. It was a great adventure.

Lone Elk is a lovely drive through park located about 25 minutes west of downtown St Louis. You can almost always see both bison and elk in this park. There are some nice picnic areas also.I especially love it in the winter, when it has snowed and you can see through the woods.

The trails at Lone Elk are great for kids - enough challenge but not too much. My athletic 6-year-old loved to run ahead to "explore" the trail ahead of me. There are also opportunities to see the Elk along the way!

Another fine example of the wonderful and FREE activities in and around St. Louis! Get there early to catch animals before too many vehicles have circumnavigated the park and moved the local residents to less accessible areas. Bring a camera and binoculars, and consider visiting World Bird Sanctuary (just across the street from park entrance) while you're in the neighborhood.

This is always a great place to see deer, elk and buffalo, take a hike in the out of doors and observe other forms of nature. It isn't safe to ride a motorcycle through the buffalo area, as they take it personally. (We saw this happen!)

We went in early and went to the very back of the park. This is a good location to see the Elk and if you are lucky you may get a photo of them in the lake.
