A scenic walk along the Sioux River.

The Sioux River Red Rock Trail is located in Dell Rapids, South Dakota. It is a 2.6 mile paved out and back trail that runs along the Sioux River. This trail offers great views of the river, red rock formations, and even a waterfall. It is great for all skill levels, and dogs are allowed on leash.

The trail has recently been updated with a nice bridge that crosses the river. The trail is relatively flat, making it a pretty easy walk. Enjoy the beautiful river and sounds of rushing water as you walk along the trail!
