Viewing Wildlife Info
The Sheyenne National Grassland boasts a diverse bird population. During the annual migration periods, swans, geese, ducks, and cranes pass through daily. Nearly 300 bird species have been seen on the Grassland. Some unique nesting species include the pileated woodpecker, barred owl, whip-poor-will, yellow rail, and scarlet tanager.
The Grassland is home to the greater prairie chicken and sharp-tailed grouse. In early spring, both species can be viewed on their booming grounds. Check out the Bird Status and Distribution on the Sheyenne National Grassland (2010) publication.
Other common wildlife species include badgers, coyotes, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, skunks, and, on rare occasions, moose, elk, and wolves.

Viewing Scenery Info
The Sheyenne National Grassland features a diverse landscape with a variety of landforms and scenic views. Along the Sheyenne River, the river bottoms and valleys provide spectacular vistas. Extending from the river, several small riparian areas—often home to beavers—add to the area's ecological richness. Iron Springs, the largest of these streams, can be reached via the North Country National Scenic Trail.
The grassland also includes hummock-and-swale landforms that create an undulating prairie, as well as deltaic plains characterized by wide, flat expanses. Additionally, the scenic woodland savanna is situated among choppy sand dunes and displays vibrant autumn colors each fall.
