Sioux Falls Travel Guide

Known to the Lakota Sioux as "Laughing Waters," the Big Sioux River winds throughout the city of Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls takes its name from scenic cascades formed 14,000 years ago as Ice Age glaciers retreated. Visitors can watch the river as it flows over the powerful falls from four viewing areas in Falls Park, one of which is a five-story observation tower. Shopping, casinos and entertainment are also major reasons for visiting the Sioux Falls area. Whatever the reason, every traveler is sure to enjoy this beautiful city.
