What are the best waterfall hikes in South Dakota?
Most of us will likely agree that the waterfall is one of Mother Nature’s most breathtaking masterpieces, and we’re pretty fortunate to have several right here in South Dakota. Did you know, for example, that the tallest waterfall in South Dakota cascades down a beautiful 100 feet? Even better? A short .04-mile path leads you straight to the cascade. The waterfall tumbles down in Falls Park in Sioux Falls. You’ll find several viewing overlooks when you arrive at the waterfall. One of the best places to view the waterfall is on the pedestrian bridge; just don’t forget your camera. Another easy South Dakota waterfall hike will take you to another of the state’s tallest waterfalls: Bridal Veil Falls. The 60-foot tall waterfall, nestled in Spearfish Canyon, is absolutely breathtaking and a must see in all four seasons. Wait until you see it frozen and sprinkled with snow in the wintertime. It’s definitely one for the bucket list.
