Exploring the Beauty of Dogwood Canyon: Wildlife Tram Tour

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the area, Dogwood Canyon Nature Park in Lampe, Missouri, offers one of the most scenic and educational ways to do so. The Wildlife Tram Tour is a highlight of the park, allowing guests to experience the diverse wildlife, lush landscapes, and rich history of the breathtaking area that is the Ozarks.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Nature

The Wildlife Tram Tour is a guided, open-air experience that takes you on a leisurely journey through the park’s 10,000 acres of pristine wilderness. Guests can sit back and relax in the comfortable tram, a knowledgeable guide shares fascinating stories about the park’s history, the various species that call it home, and the conservation efforts in place to protect this unique ecosystem.

The tram takes you through different landscapes—ranging from rolling hills to tranquil streams—offering plenty of opportunities to see the park’s wildlife up close.

Spotting Rare Wildlife: The Spirit Buffalo

A standout feature of the tram tour is the chance to see the renowned white buffalo, also known as the “Spirit Buffalo.” This rare animal holds profound cultural significance, especially among many Native American tribes. The white buffalo who joined the park’s herd of 25 in early 2021, carries the name “Takoda,” meaning “friend to everyone” in Sioux. During the Wildlife Tram Tour, visitors can spot Takoda along with the rest of the bison herd while traveling on a two-hour guided journey through Dogwood Canyon and up to the Arkansas ridgetops, home to herds of bison, elk, and deer.
