Make your way to the northern rim of the Black Hills to explore Belle Fourche (pronounced bell-foosh). The town's name is French for “beautiful fork,” describing its location at the intersection of Hay Creek, the Redwater River and the Belle Fourche River. Belle Fourche’s claim to fame is the “Geographic Center of the Nation,” but there’s so much more to this quaint town. Old West fun, outdoor adventure, Western hospitality and epic photo opportunities will keep you coming back. Visit the Tri-State Museum & Visitor Center to explore the region’s intriguing history, including early settlements in the corners of South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. Browse unique items in their gift shop, wander along the River Walk or attend one of their year-round events for all ages. It’s a must to stand at the Geographic Center of the Nation during your visit. A striking 21-foot diameter compass rose monument made of South Dakota granite marks the location along the river walk near the visitor center. Explore one of Belle Fourche's hidden gems, Rocky Point Recreation Area. This popular fishing destination is a relaxing outdoor retreat. Find Belle Fourche business listings on page 132.
