What an experience! This is really a MUST SEE area to enjoy a sacred place for several Indian tribes. The Free admission and easy to navigate trails make this a very cost effective way to wear out the kids and the dog (allowed on trails with a leash). $8.00 per car load for a 24 hour day pass is a real bargain. Plan on spending several hours. With the Visitor center included with a video and cultural area and than the trails. A good time for all.

Nice hiking, great for birds, I don't think that I have been out there without seeing wildlife

Very nice easy to moderate hiking. Trails are well maintained, nice visitor center with bathrooms. 5k going on today and what looked like a kids fun run. Ample parking.

Great place to go hiking near Sioux Falls. Hiking trails are fantastic, and the scenery is spectacular. The visitor center is very educational.

A beautiful visitors center and wonderful trails. During our visit we we're lucky enough to see a bald eagle from observation deck number 2. Even though it is winter the terrain is such that I was able to bring my kids and pull them being me in our sled.

Good Earth is such a gem. We've heard great things and finally took the kids for a hike there. We loved the huge amount of paths with lots of variety in views and difficulty. In two trips we still haven't gotten to them all. The visitor center was really nicely done and had some interesting displays about the history of the location. We are hoping to visit often and catch some of the kid activities they regularly host!

Trails are easy to walk. Many benches sprinkled about if one needs a rest. Multiple trails to choose from. We'll definitely return in summer season to see blooming flowers.

Beautiful & peaceful. Saw alit of kayaker. Was disappointed no area fir our dogs to hang out with us near the water. From $8 cost per car for the day.

Great park for hiking! Awesome views and variety of trails. Skill level moderate to medium, medium due to some incline in places.

Good for walks, nice trails. Scenic.

Way more hiking trails than you would think out of this relatively small park. I got 7 and a half miles when I did almost every trail in the park. Some of the hills at the south end of the park are very steep, so fair warning to anyone doing them. The observation decks had great views of the Big Sioux River and Northwest Iowa. Great park, will likely be back.

A very nice visitors center in an unusual park. Almost totally empty on a weekday morning, but they started the video for me, I took a nice hike (and neither passed nor saw another person). Cool history, nice view of the river.

We always have a blast when we go to Good Earth! The kids love the trails and seeing how the view from the scenic overlooks change in the seasons. We learn something new each time we come (from reading the signs or walking through the Native American exhibit inside)

We're in the mid-50s today, November 10th, and most of the leaves have fallen, but this park had lots of visitors walking the trails today! I appreciate the variety: long trails or short, hilly or relatively flat. A great walk for most, and a very nice visitor center.

Is a large and clean facility with a theater and multi-room cultural education display. There are also a few live animals like snakes, turtles, and salamanders by the front desk. It seems that the bathrooms are always open even outside of the building hours, and the outside play area is always a hit with the kids.

Pretty place for a hike

This is a beautiful place with lots of trails! Great scenery and lots of shady spots! You can be at one with nature here! Didn't have enough time to explore in entirety, but I will be back!!

So Beautiful to Start with! They have a calendar for events throughout the month for Kids and adults! Hiking trails that are suitable for Kids. Park Pass Needed.

Beautiful

Nice walking paths lead to lookouts, narrow trails for the more adventurous

Clean, spacious trails and wonderful scenery.

Great fun for family. Well maintained trails

Good place to go hiking.

Trails are amazing, most of them are covered by big beautiful trees. Some trails are open grasslands (mowed trail) You can walk beside the Big Sioux River! Wildlife can usually be spotted. There are outhouses along the way 😁 Visitor center is small but interesting and informative, movie theater shows shirt films all day. We love going here! ❤

Had a blast

It was a nice place. I was hoping the trails might be a little longer but you take a few to make up the distance.

Nice state park, if you like a nice long walk in somewhat of a forestly area this is the place. Takes about an hour and half to walk the whole trail.

Love this place, i go every day the weather is good. Great customer service in the center and the displays with information are also great. EXCELLENT HIKING TRAILS.

Super nice trails, lots of dog clean up bag stations, cool info

Wonderful day to go on self guided tour and walk a trail in the fall. Went to two lookouts, the display room, and saw presentation video. Very well done.

Loved this place! A giant ravine in the middle of the paths. Great views. Can get windy so dress appropriately. Not too packed even when the parking lot is full. Take the family for a nice weekend stroll and feel good 👍👍

Beautiful place to walk the trails and get a piece of history as well. One awesome thing they do is provide walking sticks for the trail!

I had a great time at Good Earth State Park. The trails were beautiful and went along prairies, wooded areas, and the river.

Great family oriented park! Several trails to get up close with nature. The visitor center has an exhibit room teaching about Oneota culture. A movie theater has a 20 minute film about the park and the Native American people who lived here. There is an amphitheater, classroom and picnic shelter for weddings, reunions, picnics, etc.

Beautiful...very well maintained state park. It has 8 different walking paths which vary from .53 miles to 1.13 miles, a very informative visitor center and lots of bathrooms :)

It was a beautiful day for a hike....trees have mostly dropped their leaves, but those with golds and yellows were stunning. Always great to get outside and hike. We saw many families out enjoying the trails today too!

It's a great walk but they gave us a ticket even when we paid before and after we went in 2times

Great area to run and walk. It has many beautiful trails to run and walk as well as an amazing visitor center. Highly recommended park.

Very nice presentation!

Goodatds state park

It’s the best

A comprehensive historic overview of the area and a dedication to details of our Native American ancestors lifestyles. Beautiful, informative and important. The walking trails are peaceful and meditative and the entire park resonates with an energy that comes from the sacred grounds.

Nice place, should be better after they add in the 200 acres of Spring creek golf course

Good Earth is a beautiful state park. It’s close enough to town to not be out of the way while still feeling very separate. The pathways are always clean and well-maintained. Park staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. The museum is a true highlight as well. I also highly recommend going to any events that they offer - we’ve done nature walks, snowshoeing, and even an Escape Room here.

Good place to walk

We love hiking here in all seasons! Our grandkids especially enjoyed the Monarch Butterfly Hike today. Thanks for adding fun activities during Covid-19!!

Awesome trails. Unfortunately some were closed due to flooding the day I was there. Others were great, Well marked and very well maintained.

A great little park with lots of trails very close to Sioux Falls. The only downside is that the trails are for hiking only, no bikes. The visitor center is a very nice facility with several nice displays including many historical references. It's only about 5 minutes from the SE edge of town, worth the trip.

Very clean but its COVID season so somewhat sterile and quiet. Was Father's Day weekend and we enjoyed the activities on the trail geared toward such.

Beautiful sites. Fun hikes.

They had an interesting video and many interesting exhibits if the area!

Great Trails and beautiful scenery.

Beautiful, easy paths, plus viewpoints

I loved it because everything looked so realistic and the land around the building was absolutely breathtaking.

Great place to just get out and be in nature!!! Great views!

A great place for hiking and enjoying views of the river.

Great views! Peaceful!

We just used the walk area. Was a nice path.

So much fun. Great visitors center. Easy hikes. Very little shade so bring your water

Interesting little museum highlighting native American life style in the area

Lots of great walking trails, beautiful views.

Beautiful trails well kept

Wonderful trails
