Sica Hollow State Park (also Sieche Hollow State Park) is a state park of South Dakota, USA. It was named Sica (pronounced shee-chah[3]), a Dakota word for bad or evil, due to the iron-red tinted water which was seen as blood by the Dakota tribe in the area.
In 1967, Sica Hollow was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.[4]
