Spearfish Canyon

This scenic 19-mile drive in the Black Hills that passes cliffs, waterfalls and the Spearfish Creek gives one the feeling they are in the rainforest.

This drive had it all: Tree-covered mountains, picturesque waterfalls and streams, dramatic rock formations, wildlife sightings, the works! It seemed like there was something breathtaking around each bend. There were many spots where you could pull off the road - great for shutterbugs or those wishing to get a closer view of things. A rubberneckers delight!

Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway

Reviewed By antikat - Winnipeg, Canada

It only takes a couple of hours to drive the byway but you will want to get out of your car to admire the beauty of the area. Short hikes on well maintained trails take you to Spearfish and Roughlock Falls while Bridal Veil Falls is located right on the byway and is visible from your vehicle. We saw a sign directing us to something called The Devil's Bathtub but after a 15 minute hike along the creek, we discovered it was on private land and opted not to continue.

Devil Bathtub South Dakota

Reviewed By karakara1 - Minneapolis, United States

I’m so happy I happened upon this hike using the AllTrails app!!! It met all the requirements: doable, no steep hills, swimming in a waterfall, just the right length! Take my advice and DO IT!! Just be prepared to get your feet wet, it’s often easier and more enjoyable to hike in the river/creek itself!

Bridal Veil Falls

Reviewed By MindyandRogerA - Janesville, United States

Beautiful Waterfall adjacent on Hwy 14A (Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway) south of Spearfish. There is a pull-off, crosswalk and viewing platform that provides an excellent view of the waterfall. Great spot for pictures. With some difficulty, you can climb down to the adjacent stream, remove your shoes and walk across the shallow stream to the base of the falls. Well worth a short stop that is no more than 5 miles south of Spearfish. Access to the platform is possible for almost everyone.
