I love driving through this park seeing moose, deer, and BISON! When I sent a picture to my boyfriend he did not believe that it was a picture of a bison. It's a beautiful park. If you are in the area, you have to go and look. Kids will love it and adults will too!

We swung into Lone Elk Park, which is surprisingly close to the city. We did see several elk that stood just steps from our vehicle. The bison were harder to spot but on our second circle of the park we did see several just over a ridge. This is just a quiet little drive, no big wow, but certainly a... More

If you enjoy viewing the wild animals such as deer, Elk, wolves, coyote, etc this is a good park to see them without a lot of people being around. You can also schedule a night visit to hear the wolves and coyote howling into the night.

Drove through here with my niece and nephew. They were so psyched to see the buffalo and elk. The animals were right out the car window and it didnt take us too long at all to make the quick drive through.

We recently went to Lone Elk Park and had a great time once again. We saw six elk in the field where the park information and restrooms are. The bison were up the road and they were crossing the road so they were so close that we could reach out and touch them! There is a lake there as well.

Not worth the gas money. It is in an area called West County which I would not be caught dead in. Go to the zoo where you can buy beer and wine!

Loved the park!!! I remember coming here as a kid and returning as eBay adult with my toddler was equally as impressive. Buffalo were relaxing right next to the road and made for a great south. The elk were all grouped about 100 yards off a back road, which made it difficult to see them, but exciting non the less.... More

Nice little drive outside of the city. Experience up close views of elk and bison from the comfort of your vehicle. Great photo opportunities. Only downside to our visit was the elk road closure. No sign or staff to advise of the reason or possibility of re-opening. Still saw a few elk.
