How do you spend a beautiful spring evening in Sioux Falls? A lot of people take to the scenic bike trail to walk, run or bike. If you spend any amount of time on the bike trail, you know it’s one of the key features of our fine city.

Fodor’s is the world’s largest publisher of travel and tourism information and recently, they named the Top 10 “America’s Best Urban Bike Paths” and Sioux Falls ranked high.

Fodor’s says cities are developing more cyclist-friendly environments with designated bike paths that double as roadmaps to the very best of art, dining and adventure. That certainly rings true in Sioux Falls where the bike trail runs through the heart of downtown Sioux Falls amid fine dining, fun bars, arts and culture.

Sioux Falls ranked third on the list. Here’s what the website had to say about the Sioux Falls bike trail.

Exploring any one of the city’s 70 public parks is a cinch when you’re gliding along the Sioux Falls Bike Trail. Pack a picnic of essentials—artisan cheese and charcuterie boards with expertly-paired wines—from The Market on Phillips, then chart a course to 123-acre Falls Park to admire the 100-foot waterfall from its five-story observation tower. Art aficionados should cycle to Washington Pavilion for local galleries, interactive exhibits, and live entertainment.

Here’s the whole list:

  1. Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville, SC
  2. Indianapolis Cultural Trail in Indianapolis, IN
  3. Sioux Falls Bike Trail
  4. Capital City State Trail in Madison, WI
  5. Atlanta Beltline in Atlanta, GA
  6. Virginia Capital Trail in Richmond, VA
  7. Schuylkill River Trail in Philadelphia, PA
  8. Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail in Sacramento, CA
  9. King Street Protected Bike Lane in Honolulu, HI
  10. Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail in St. Petersburg, FL

From the looks of the list, the only thing Sioux Falls is missing is a catchy name for our bike trail.
