Big Sioux Levee Trail reopens in Dakota Dunes
DAKOTA DUNES, S.D. (KCAU) — The Big Sioux Levee Trail in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota has opened back up temporarily after being closed to allow for repairs to the river's levee.
According to the Dakota Dunes Community Improvement District, the trail is open as of April 30. However, it's expected to close again sometime in May once Lieber Construction gets additional materials and continues work on the Big Sioux River levee.

Golf carts are allowed on the trail from Prairie Park to the levee and the access point from E Pinehurst via the maintenance asphalt road. Officials urged users of the trail to take their typical precautions.
The repair project was approved back in Jan. 2025, with Lieber Construction awarded the project after their bid of nearly $2 million. The levee was damaged from June 2024's historic flooding.
The Pointe walking trail near the Big Sioux River will be relocated further inland by spring or early summer 2025.
