The bison are fed on Fridays, usually. There is handicap parking right next to pathway to The Nature Center....which The entrance, by the way, is the next gate past the park entrance gate (about a quarter mile)... same side of the road. The pathway leads to the Nature Center (which deserves a look see, too), and the fencing and field is just beyond where they are feeding during the winter months. Our granddaughter and I went for a workshop, looked out the center windows and thought we saw big boulders, watching awhile we saw those boulders move, then stand... thrilling. Seven females, one male at this time.warmer months the bison are moved up closer to the main road, but triple fenced

It is very close to the parking lot. The trail is accesible

This is handicap accessible! Been here a couple times, well worth it to visit the nature center!

They have two feilds so it depends on where they have them grazing. One is close to the parking lot for the nature center. The other is behind the nature center, so you view then from there. The have a binocular viewer so you can see them better.

Depends on where bisons are at any given time. When we visited there was none at the Visitor Center, but a herd was closer to where you park your car. We had to clime a little hill to look at them, though.

It's a little bit of a walk, but it's well worth it, plenty of handicap parking and ramps.

Not far at all. The whole facility is handicap accessible. I had s stroller with me zero problems. Maybe s couple hundred yards to either viewing area from the parking lot

The bison can usually be seen from the nature center, depending on what field they are in. I think the farthest you would have to walk would be 100 to 200 yards.
