Dakota Prairie Grasslands encompasses over 1,259,000 acres and consists of four U.S. Forest Service Ranger District offices that manage four National Grasslands: Cedar River National Grassland, Little, Missouri National Grassland, and Sheyenne National Grassland in North Dakota; and Grand River National Grassland in South Dakota. The grasslands offer visitors the opportunity to view elk, antelope, whitetail and mule deer, bighorn sheep, coyote, sharptail grouse, greater prairie chicken, pheasant, wild turkey, eagles, falcons, and the busy prairie dog. Pets are allowed but must always be restrained or on a leash while in developed recreation sites. Pets are not allowed in swimming areas.
