Nature Preserves & Primitive
Camping Harrison County is home to the Dunn Ranch & Pawnee Prairie. Just minutes north of Bethany the Dunn ranch is more than 3,000 acres and the Pawnee Prairie is over 400 acres. On the wide-open rolling expanses of Dunn Ranch and Pawnee Prairie, the prairie chicken still performs its colorful spring "booming"; the upland sandpiper's ghostly call carries in the wind; and regal fritillary butterflies alight on gorgeous coneflowers. The area is marked by high vegetation from late spring through fall. Large rolling hills make for a moderate hike. It is frequently windy, and spring can be very cool and breezy on the prairie. In summer it is often very hot, with little shade. Beware of cattle on Dunn Ranch. Some or all areas of the preserve may be temporarily closed due to restoration efforts. Please call the Dunn Ranch office at (660) 867-3866 prior to your visit. |
