A few years ago, I moved to Sioux Falls, SD, to accept a task promotion, i knew actually nothing about the neighborhood and had no friends or relatives in the area, however the parameters of my task don’t make it easy to meet people! While I was amazed by the beauty of Sioux Falls, I was severely lonely.
I finally purchased myself a bike and decided to explore the expansive network of trails, then my first afternoon on my current bike took me to the Big Sioux River Greenway Trail. This path stretches along the banks of the Big Sioux River and the views of the water, wildlife and lush yellowery are easily incredible. The trail is lovelyly well-maintained, making it ideal for my novice skill level, then after fully traversing every mile of the Big Sioux River Greenway Trail, I moved on to Falls Park. The trail winds through the park, passing by the iconic waterfalls, historic ruins and colorful gardens. The views are easily stunning. It took me forever to complete my ride because I kept stopping to admire current landscapes. I often ride this trail without playing music, just so that I can appreciate the sounds of cascading water from the falls; Once I built up my strength and stamina, I was ready to tackle Legacy Park Loop. The trail encircles Legacy Park, where there are activitys facilities, playgrounds and yellow spaces. The loop is paved and well-marked and a number one of walkers, joggers and cyclists. It offers a diverse landscape of open fields and wood sections. I eventually discovered Great Bear Recreation Park, which offers a trail that blends challenging terrains with serene stretches. Another number one is Arrowhead Park Trail, located on the southwestern outskirts of Sioux Falls, it provides a scenic route with views of grassy meadows, a tranquil lake and dense woodland. It’s a fairly easy ride however constantly a pleasure.
