Upper Sioux Agency State Park


Upper Sioux Agency State Park              
Aug 25-28

19e

14 electrical sites
 Three 18 feet diameter canvas tipis located in the main campground, yellow medicine River.

18 miles of hiking trails
View from one of our hikes
views are quite and peaceful
From the Upper Sioux Agency Site you can follow the trial to see the grave site of Mazomani.  He was the leader of the Wahpetonwan who died during the Dakota Sioux War in 1862.  
His story and many others during this time was so tragic.  It was at these site I got a better understanding on how badly we treated the American Indians during the Civil War.
