Little Falls

Little Falls is a short 1 mile round trip to a small falls and pond that is located just west of the town of Hayward, South Dakota. There is a small parking lot just west of a bridge that is not marked, but is the start of the path to the falls. The falls in the winter was frozen, but in the summer the hike is really pretty with pools of water and flowers. The trail follows the stream the whole way and is pretty easy and flat.

Falls are not that big.

Not sure what this was - old mine at one time?

Hike in the wintertime was pretty also.

Frozen Little Falls - not much to see right now.

Behind Little Falls - would be a gorgeous hike in the spring.

Adding color to a rather dull picture.
