General Information
Falls Park is a public park located in north central Sioux Falls, South Dakota, surrounding the city's falls. Through it runs the Big Sioux River, and it includes a café, observation tower, and the remains of an old mill.

The Falls Overlook Café is located across the river from the observation tower and is housed inside the 1908 Sioux Falls Light & Power Co. hydroelectric plant. The observation tower is connected to the visitor center.
The mill opened in late 1881, and consisted of a seven-story main structure built of Sioux quartzite quarried on site. The mill could process 1,500 bushels each day. However, by 1883, the mill was closed — a victim of inadequate water power and a short supply of wheat.
