While attending the Friends of the Big Sioux River Film Festival at the State Theater I learned the Big Sioux River is about 420 miles long! I got lost in a daydream about how exciting it would be to walk the entire Big Sioux River. I don't have the free time to walk the river this year, but I did make a printable sheet for those who want to virtually walk the river! Fill in a circle for each mile you walk and see how long it takes you to walk the Big Sioux River in 2024.
Friends of the Big Sioux River is all about cleaning our river to make sure it's around for generations to come. They also host really fun river clean up opportunities. Check out their website for more information.
