Big Sioux State Recreation Area

Located on the eastern edge of South Dakota, the Big Sioux Recreation Area lies on the banks of the Big Sioux River. Close to the cities of Brandon and Sioux Falls, Big Sioux is popular among campers, canoers, bicyclists, hikers, disc golfers, history buffs and archers. When the snow flies, groups of snowmobilers gather at the enclosed warming house. There are 49 campsites and three cabins. Games, fishing poles and snowshoes can be checked out for day use.
