Klondike is located just southeast of the Sioux
falls area, off Hiway 11. It is said to be an abandoned town, although there are still a
few people living where the town once stood. There is evidence of a few abandoned
buildings (one of which is pictured above).
The main attraction of a ride to this area is the
area near the Big Sioux River where the South Dakota, and Iowa borders meet. There is a
small water fall, as well as a small trail to hike along. Bring your camera and some good
hiking shoes!

Directions:
From I-229, exit onto East 26th street. Go east on
26th street until you get to Hiway 11. On Hiway 11, go south until you get to 276th Street
(there is a sign that points to the right towards Harrisburg). Turn left on 276th Street,
and go east... look for a road on the right, just before you get to the river. If you get
to the Big Sioux River, you have gone a bit too far... turn around and look for a small
road that winds into the woods. When you get to the small bridge... park! Walk across the
bridge (no motor vehicle traffic permitted) and explore.
