When are we open?

DAILY

***Closed until further notice - Wildlife Viewing Platflorm @ Nelson Farms Preserve - Overlooking the Crawfish Pond at the Nelson Farms Preserve this large, wooden platform is a great place to enjoy the wildlife of a pond year-round. This platform is located on the shoulder of Sharp Road and is accessible 24 hours a day/ 365 days a year.

Matt Cook Wildlife Viewing Platflorm @ Warren Lake - KPC has just opened the new Matt Cook Wildlife Viewing platform, a two-story structure that provides an excellent view of Warren Lake and its notable bird life (including the occasional wintering bald eagle). This platform is open daily from 7:00am to dusk.

WEEKLY

Indiangrass Preserve - Our Indiangrass Preserve is open each Friday from 9 am - 1 pm. This is a convenient spot for birders, bicyclists, and others exploring the prairie who would like to drop in to enjoy their sack lunch, use restroom facilities, and of course explore our Flat Out Wonderful Indiangrass Preserve. Indiangrass Preserve also open each 2nd Thursday of the month from 8 am - 3 pm for Nursery Workday.
