Elk & Bison Prairie at LBL

Who knew that elk once roamed freely in our region? In 1996, after a 150-year absence, Land Between the Lakes reintroduced elk into a 700-acre Elk & Bison Prairie. Five years later, 25 elk from LBL were transported to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in an experimental reintroduction program. (source – LBL)
