Ranch Tours
BisonRidge Ranch is situated near the shores of Buffalo Lake. According to Ho-Chunk tribal legend, over 150 years ago, the last buffalo was run into Buffalo Lake and drowned. Today at BisonRidge Ranch nearly 300 bison roam the land near this historic lake. Owners Jim Atten and Georgia Derrick take pride in being a part of the restoration of bison in Wisconsin and enjoy sharing their ranch with visitors.

Learn all about the habits, history and future of these wooly survivors during a ninety-minute tour. You will visit the "bufftuff" corrals, handling facilities and view a short video of a bison round-up. |
Then you'll take a wagon ride to see the bison herd. Be sure to take your camera for some amazing shots of these huge bulls, playful calves and their cautious mothers.
| As you tour the ranch you have a breathtaking view of 900 acres of lush pastures, native grasslands, wetlands, and woods. Most of the property is left untouched providing a refuge for sand hill cranes, Canada geese, wild turkeys and whitetail deer. Jim and Georgia have restored former cropland to chemical-free "sustainable" pastures. |
