Conserving habitat along the Platte River focusing on Sandhill cranes, other wildlife and their habitats. Rowe sanctuary offers hiking trails, a visitor center, and gift shop. Seasonally, we offer viewing blinds which are strategically placed along the Platte River to provide excellent views of the Sandhill Cranes while they are on their river roost.

We were very pleased that Rowe was offering tours with limited numbers due to Covid and we were able to snag a morning tour to watch and hear the waking of the Sandhill Cranes and then their majestic flight as they departed in mass. The blinds are brand new and simply wonderful. Masks were required and worn by everyone. Be prepared for the weather, bring binoculars and you will have an unforgettable experience.
