Buffalo Lookout Tower

Plans for a BuffaloLookoutTower are being implemented with profit from the trail project. This endeavor will come true in 2008, fabrication this winter consisted of several arched floor supports, and the tower will consist of two levels. The first level 15 feet high will be handicapped accessible, the second level will be 30 feet high for the more agile folks. The tower is supported by eight 60 foot H piling beams spaced out in a shape of an octagon; the top deck will be finished out with hand rails. A possible future endeavor would be to have roof built on the ground and swung into place by a large bridge crane, if and when additional funding becomes available. Road and Bridge skilled and world class welder Meatball Wahwassuck planned this project and the stainless steel archway with our Tribal seal that showcases the main entrance to the Prairie Peoples Park Pow Wow grounds.

The Tower located at the OldBallPark next to the Pedestrian & Bike Trail will have a good vantage point to view the Tribal Buffalo Herd on their 420 acre area, to the north and east, as well as the Reservation.
