The Enchanting Urban Waterfall That Everyone In South Dakota Should Visit

One might think that the Sioux Falls waterfall would be located within a bucolic, rural setting along a beautiful river. You wouldn't expect such magnificent waterfalls to be right in the heart of the downtown of the state's largest city. But they are! While Sioux Falls, South Dakota doesn't have as many skyscrapers as some cities, what it lacks in glass and steel, it makes up for with stunning falls. Which, as we know, is much better.

The Sioux Falls waterfall is indeed a magnificent waterfall; around 7,400 gallons of water cascade just over 100 feet every second here.

The water falls into several tiers, creating a stunning display of power and beauty in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

While the amount of water flowing from the Big Sioux River into the falls varies throughout the year, when the water is flowing heavily, the Sioux Falls Park waterfall is a sight to behold.

If you're wondering where the falls in Sioux Falls are located, you'll find this jaw-dropping waterfall at Falls Park, located right in the heart of the city.

Take a stroll down the pathways, sit on a bench, and enjoy the water, or climb to the top of the observation tower for a bird's eye view of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The Queen Bee Mill once processed more than a thousand barrels of grain every day. You can see the ruins of the mill at the park today.

Falls Overlook Cafe is the perfect spot for a snack or meal during the summer months. I would love to dine here!

At Christmastime, the Sioux Falls waterfall is lit up in vibrant colors, creating the most incredible holiday display ever.

In fact, the entire park looks like a winter wonderland when there's snow on the ground and twinkle lights in the trees.
