The little city with BIG attractions.

Dell Rapids is rich in history dating back to 1871. Our historic district is 39 buildings on Main Street, almost all of them faced in rose-colored Sioux quartzite, and many restored to their turn-of-the-century elegance.

That same stone gave the town its name. Just south of downtown, the Big Sioux River cuts through the Dells, a gorge lined with tall walls of red quartzite, the kind of view you would expect to drive to a state park for. The Sioux River Red Rock Trail follows the river through town, so you can walk or bike from City Park to the water and the cliffs.

We support local businesses and our hometown. Whether you're a member, visitor, or thinking about making Dell Rapids home, the Chamber is your place to start.
