Sica Hollow State Park

/userdocs/Sica Hollow State Park

Sica Hollow State Park, established in 1968, is located in northeastern South Dakota. It is a trail explorer’s destination. Adventurers, whether on horseback, foot, or mountain bike, can explore the potential of the 10 miles of multiuse trails. Experience a mature oak forest, scenic prairie vistas, winding draws that descend into the tranquil streams that follow through the park. The flow of water comes from deep beneath the park, where underground water wells up to the surface creating beautiful and unique springs, bogs, and waterfalls.

Sica Hollow State Park offers year-round potential, but one of the most popular times to experience the park is in the fall. During the fall, the park becomes one of South Dakota’s top destinations to view a kaleidoscope of vivid fall colors from native oak, aspen, maple, and elm trees. While fall is certainly a time to not miss, there are countless moments to take in all year. Wildflowers in bloom in early summer and spring, stary skies during the summer while enjoying a campfire, or seeing the beautiful ice flows from the springs during the winter. There is more to take in than can be experienced in a day which constitutes a stay in the park’s campground to base camp out of. 

Sica Hollow State Park has also earned attention nation-wide. The park is part of two major geological features. The Glacial River Warren and Coteau des Prairies, which are designated National Natural Landmarks. Inside the park, The Trail of the Spirits, a self-guided interpretive foot trail, was designated as a National Recreation Trail in 1971.
