As the temperatures cool down, don’t let the changing seasons keep you indoors. This month, Sioux City Parks and Recreation is encouraging residents to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and explore our local trails!

Did you know Sioux City has 33 miles of paved and multi-use trails, plus an additional 15+ miles of backcountry and hiking trails in Stone State Park?

Here’s your Movember challenge: Explore a trail you’ve never visited, invite a friend or family member along, or make time for a daily walk.

And you don’t have to travel far or plan an entire day outdoors! Even a short walk during your lunch break or an afternoon exploring a new trail is a great way to add movement to your day.

With nearly 50 miles of trails to explore, there’s plenty of Sioux City waiting to be discovered!

What’s your favorite trail in Sioux City?

BOAT DOCKS TO BE REMOVED FOR THE WINTER

The Sioux City Parks and Recreation Department announces it will be removing boat docks for the winter season, with removal expected on or around November 4, 2026. The Chris Larsen Park Boat Ramp will remain open.

Winterizing boat docks is a proactive step to preserve the equipment and ensure they are ready for the next season. This process is critical in cold and freezing water, as shifting ice can cause severe damage to docks that are left in the water. The docks will be reinstalled in the spring once the ice melts, and conditions are safe.

For more information contact the Parks and Recreation Administrative office at 712-279-6126, ext. 1.

Sioux City, you showed up for Bacon Creek’s Haunted Hike!

What an incredible turnout! Both nights of Haunted Hike were completely SOLD OUT, and we couldn’t have been more excited to see everyone come out and enjoy a little Halloween fun!

Your enthusiasm, excitement, and support helped make this event such a success. From the spooky surprises along the trail to the reactions of those brave enough to make their way through, it was a weekend to remember!

A huge thank you to the volunteers, actors, and everyone behind the scenes who dedicated their time and creativity to bringing Haunted Hike to life. Events like this wouldn’t be possible without you!

And to everyone who purchased tickets, brought friends and family, and joined us for the scares, THANK YOU, Sioux City!

We loved seeing you enjoy yourselves, and we can’t wait to do it again!
