When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area.
That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.
Sioux Falls in South Dakota had enough water flow in August to "wow" my interest to continue searching for waterfalls dry or trickling. The paved walkways allowed easy access to many different views of the falls. Food and snacks were available for purchasing, and a tower equipped with an elevator took visitors to the top which overlooked the falls and nearby city.
