Join us for a spring ride on the Prairie Parkway Bike Trail, our newly resurfaced and expanded entry road to Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. Bike lanes have been added to both sides of the road to improve biker safety. Participants will have the chance to see bison and elk, ride amongst native wildflowers in bloom, toss seed bombs, meet live animals , hike the trails and explore our Visitors Center.
Snacks, refreshments, games and activities will be provided. Like all refuge activities, Pedal the Prairie is a Free Event. Riders and non-riders are welcome to attend.
Both Prairie Parkway Ride (10 miles - 5 miles out and 5 miles back) and the Family Fun Ride (1.5 miles) begin at 9:00 a.m. A sag wagon will be available.
There is no registration necessary for the event. If you plan to join us, please visit Neal Smith NWR Facebook page, go to Events page , select Pedal the Prairie and choose "going" under last years ride photo. Be sure to check this page often because updates on activities, maps, parking and general information will be posted here.
