Confirmed from Yankton Trail Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Green space with multiple league soccer fields & access to the riverside bike trail.
What runners say about Yankton Trail Park
“Sunset and sunrise are beautiful and as it turns green in the spring it is truly a wonder.”
Following this 20 mile trail through all the green spaces along the river while enjoying the views is a treasure. You go from areas that are remote to downtown to falls park. I have to say this is one of the best biking trails I have encountered that is not in a desert.
I purposely chose a home near the entrance to the park to be able to run on the trail. Sunset and sunrise are beautiful and as it turns green in the spring it is truly a wonder.
Yankton Trail Park is a phenomenal place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The running trails are fantastic and well maintained. This park is a great location for the Nike Regional Cross Country races. The course is flat with a couple small hills, and it is a fast course as well.
Several times a year we host the Nike Regional cross country championships in Yankton trail park. It's the perfect venue for a cross country event. Thousands of competitors and spectators.
