SIOUX FALLS: FALLS PARK
Falls Park in Sioux Falls South Dakota is a popular attraction for Art Displays and concerts as well as a place of beauty and relaxation.
This natural beauty on the Big Sioux River gave the city of Sioux Falls its name and, like a lot of places in South Dakota, it has a long history. Visitors enjoy the scenic beauty, as well as the remnants of some of Sioux Falls earliest buildings.
In pioneer days the falls were tapped for water power to run the Queen Bee Mill, built in 1887. The foundation of the mill is still visible, as well as a hydroelectric plant built in 1908. These structures offer a glimpse into the areas history, while the Falls Park Visitor Information Center, featuring a five-story observation tower and elevator, provides information on Falls Park and other Sioux Falls attractions.

From the gorgeous flowers and plants to the array of colorful produce, it's candy for the eyes. I've been to the Farmers' Market several times just to browse and people watch. It's a fun Saturday morning activity. The Falls Park Farmers' Market is open from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM Saturdays May through October.

Winter Falls in Sioux Falls
The temp was +4 when I stepped out of my car at Falls Park in Sioux Falls. It's been a very cold January and I wondered what the city's signature waterfalls looked like after this cold snap.
It was so cold that my iphone shut down and had to be placed by my cars heater vent to get warmed up before it would power back up.
I was surprised to see as much water running as there was. The cold temps along with the stark beauty of the ice and the sounds of the falling water provided a brief tranquil escape.
