Rivers & Waterfalls

South Dakota Rivers & Waterfalls

South Dakota has its own dramatic water landscapes. This collection features the waterfalls and rivers of the Sioux Falls area, where the Big Sioux River rushes over exposed pink Sioux quartzite rock formations at Falls Park – the same ancient stone that appears in the Red Rock landmarks of southwestern Minnesota.

These images capture the power and texture of moving water against weathered rock, surrounded by the trees and sky of the Great Plains.
