Beautiful!

This is a beautiful scenic part of Spearfish Canyon. It's a very easy walk to the falls from the parking lot, just about a mile. The day we were there it had just snowed, so some of the path was icy and slippery.

Thank ScubaRick33

Worth your time

Very picturesque series of small waterfalls in a easy to get to place. Paved walkway and plenty of parking. I would think it would be a great place to be on a hot afternoon.

Great falls

Walked around most of the falls as it is quite long but easy to get to. It was raining that day so did not want to be outside too long but worth the view of the falls.

Excellent hiking

The entire area is absolutely beautiful — especially the hikes to Roughlock Falls and to Spearfish Falls. They’re not too difficult or long but very much worth your time.

Roughlock

The falls at Spearfish are beyond words. Roughlock is a short hike on a paved trail and worth every step. Stunning just isn't enough. Take the time and get up the Roughlock. The most peaceful and relaxing time you will have.

Fairly easy hike. Beautiful views along the way.

If you're looking for a quick (2 mile roundtrip) hike through beautiful terrain you'll really enjoy this hike. Waterfall, moving streams, wildlife viewing, wildflowers.
