Palisades State Park, State park in Minnehaha County, United States.
Split Rock Creek flows through Palisades State Park, carving deep gorges between pink Sioux quartzite formations that reach heights of 50 feet.
In 1865, pioneers established the town of Palisades near Split Rock Creek, where they built a flour mill powered by creek water.
Native American groups valued the park's catlinite deposits, using this material to create ceremonial pipes for traditional practices.
The park maintains 111 camping sites, 10 cabins, and 5 hiking trails across 435 acres of land featuring rock climbing opportunities.
The pink Sioux quartzite formations in the park date back 1.2 billion years, making them among the oldest exposed rock formations in South Dakota.
