At Dell Rapids, the Sioux River splits into the Dells of the Sioux. If the water is high enough, it spills into the Dells, which is a faster moving body of water, and it travels through a small canyon with quartzite walls. The other part of the Sioux River travels slowly, then runs over the dam. The Sioux River is mostly a lazy river, canoeing and fishing are popular on the Sioux River.
Pictures include the Sioux River and Dam, several churches, the Carnegie Library, and the ODD fellows home.
