Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area

**★★★★★ John Roscoe — 2 weeks ago

First off - DO NOT attempt to drive in on the dirt road if it is wet and you do not have a 4WD vehicle. There are areas with deep mud that many cars cannot handle. Very good odds you will get stuck and have to be towed out!

That said, it was an incredible sight to see so many cranes - well over one thousand - all in one location. Once in a lifetime kind of thing!

We come every year to see the sandhill cranes. Being here a bit before dawn gives the biggest payoff. Crane-nados! We camp in our van. There are a few official sites with picnic tables, but more space to just park if you don't need that. Pit toilets and trash. They usually have extra portapotties as well. It's COLD in the morning and the benches by the water are metal, so bring your own chairs
