Description
Added by Isaac Parsons
Split Rock Creek flows through Sioux Quarzite rock formations making picturesque cliffs!
The hike is a very simple hike, you can make it longer or shorter as you would like. There is one spot were the trail gets a little steep and is rutted, you go from the rivers edge, to up on top of the cliffs and bluffs area.
Fall is a great time to go and visit Palisades State Park, with the Fall foliage and the trees changing!
To enter Palisades State Park you will need a pass, either a day pass or an annual permit. There is a campground as well in the Park.

Reviews
The trail is a wonderful hike to explore the park and climb a little. I find it a refreshing location to hike with such cool rock formations, in a part of the state that is relatively flat. There are also overlooks, places to picnic and a playground.

Neat area to hike near Sioux Falls. We camped and had a great time checking out the trails and watching kayakers.
