Tule Elk Reserve
Tule Elk State Natural Reserve protects a herd of Tule elk, once in danger of extinction. In the 1880s, vast herds of Tule elk were greatly reduced in number by hunting and loss of habitat. Elk from the reserve have been successfully transplanted to other areas in California where free-roaming herds of Tule elk can be found today. The elk are most active from late summer through early autumn. Visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars for better viewing. The park has picnic areas and interpretive exhibits. 661-764-6881 West of I5 via Stockdale Hwy.
