Dewey C Gevik Outdoor Learning Center
We’re so excited! Great things are planned for the Gevik site this fall, from putting up new signs to an online teacher’s resource! But you don’t have to wait for them to enjoy the walking trails and nature in all its glory. On these cooler fall days, head on over and take a nice walk to clear your mind and enjoy the wildlife and wetland areas. You can even take your furry friends with you, but PLEASE KEEP THEM ON A LEASH so we don’t disturb the critters who are already living there.
The official address of the Gevik site is 26581 462 Avenue, Hartford, SD. It’s located 1/2 mile west of Wall Lake, or 1/4 mile north of the intersection of 266th Street and 462nd Avenue, about eight miles west of Sioux Falls.
In case you’re wondering, the shorter walking loop is about 1/4 mile, and the longer one is about 3/4 of a mile. Want to make it fun for the kids and grandkids? Watch for the bird houses. How many can you find?
