The buffet is held on the first day of elk viewing tours at Jenny Wiley that run through the fall and winter.


Adults are $18.95 and children ages 6-12 are $8.95. Ages 5 and under are free. Drink not included.

Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is sponsoring elk tours at a cost of $30 per person or $15 per child, 12 and under. This fee includes transportation by van to the viewing sites and a continental breakfast. The elk-viewing tours will run through Dec. 2. The tours will resume in January.

The park also offers overnight tour packages that include lodging, dinner, and an elktour with continental breakfast for $160 per couple. Guests should register for the trips. Special group and business tours are available.
