Elk & Bison Prairie National Recreation Area - Land Between the Lakes - Benton, Kentucky

The Elk & Bison Prairie at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a gated 700-acre preserve featuring elk and bison that can be viewed from the comforts of your vehicle. As you drive down the one-way loop through the prairie, you'll see beautiful native grasses, trees, small streams and landscapes as the land looked hundreds of years ago. During the spring months, you'll see new bison calves huddling close to their mothers. In summer, the prairie grasses and flowers come alive. Breeding season begins with the bulls become more aggressive. Fall months bring the unmistakable "bugle" call from the elk as they holler out for their mates. There's nothing quite like the sound a bugling elk makes!

Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a United States 171,280-acre national recreation area in Kentucky and Tennessee between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. It was designated as a national recreation area in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy and developed using funds appropriated during the Johnson administration. Originally managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which constructed dams to create the two lakes in this area, the recreation area was later transferred to the administration of the United States Forest Service.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
