Big Sioux Park

Discover Big Sioux Park in Akron

As the first county park acquired by the conservation board, Big Sioux Park continues to provide hunting, fishing, paddling, and boating opportunities on the Big Sioux River. Located one mile north of Akron, this 33 acre park has undergone a recent habitat transformation due to several major floods. Once primarily a river edge grassland, natural succession is transforming Big Sioux Park into a riparian forest complete with maples, cottonwoods, and willows.
