Falls Park, Protected area in Sioux Falls, United States.
Falls Park extends over 128 acres along the Big Sioux River, featuring cascading waters that drop 100 feet through multiple rock formations and viewing platforms.
The area gained prominence in 1881 when South Dakota's first senator established the Queen Bee Mill to process 1,500 bushels of wheat daily near the falls.
The Falls Park Farmers Market connects local producers with the community, offering regional products and supporting agricultural traditions of South Dakota.
The park includes numerous facilities such as the Falls Overlook Café, visitor information center, gift shop, and walking paths along the Big Sioux River Recreation Trail.
The water system releases 7,400 gallons per second over the quartzite formations, creating distinct patterns that change with seasonal water volumes and weather conditions.
