Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in northern Nebraska, United States.
Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge spans 19,131 acres along the Niobrara River, featuring limestone cliffs, mixed grass prairies, and diverse forest ecosystems.
The land served as Fort Niobrara Military Reservation from 1879 to 1906, housing U.S. Cavalry before its designation as a wildlife refuge in 1912.
The American Bison Society introduced bison to the refuge in 1913, contributing to the preservation of native species in the Great Plains region.

The refuge maintains a population of 350 bison and hosts 230 bird species within its designated wilderness area of 4,635 acres.
