- Sullys Hill National Game Preserve
Sullys Hill National Game Preserve is a National Wildlife Refuge located on the shore of Devil's Lake in Benson County, North Dakota, within the lands of the Spirit Lake Tribe. It consists of 1,674 acres (6.8 km²) of marshes and wooded hills that are the home of 20-30 American Bison, 25-40 elk, 20-30 white-tailed deer, and a colony of prairie dogs.
In 1904, Sullys Hill National Park was established by Theodore Roosevelt. The United States Congress transferred it to the management of the Fish and Wildlife Service on 3 March 1931. It was a rare case of a national park being redesignated. (See Platt National Park)
It was named after General Alfred Sully, son of the painter Thomas Sully.
