Welcome!

Sioux Empire Paddlers is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Educational Organization.

We are a membership-based organization. Our goal is to get more people on the water and enjoy what the Sioux Falls area has to offer. Our organization offers membership events, pool sessions, river clean ups, kayak classes for ages 13+, kayak tours, free member river classes, overnight trips, whitewater destinations and group paddles throughout the summer.

One of our biggest goals is our River Revitalization Project in Sioux Falls SD. This project will make a great location for us to conduct river classes to help improve paddling skills. This project will have surfing waves, boulder gardens for working on eddies and make fun safe rapids in our river. Besides making great training grounds to improve your paddling skills it will also make a fun place to tube, raft, train swift water rescue, modify dangerous low head dams, riverbank enhancement, improve fishing, and improve the health of our river.
