Spending time among nature is just so good for the soul, isn’t it? We get to breathe in the fresh air, feel the golden sunshine on our skin, and if we’re lucky, stumble upon breathtaking natural wonders. Fortunately, we have an abundance of opportunities to do just that in our beautiful state. Next time you’ve got an hour or two free, head outdoors and visit the tallest waterfall in South Dakota.
Spend a leisurely day outdoors at Falls Park, tucked in Sioux Falls, that’s home to the tallest waterfall in South Dakota.

After admiring the waterfall, go for a leisurely stroll around the park, or spend the entire day. Bring along a picnic, and eat at one of the picnic tables or find a grassy spot near the waterfall to spread out.
