D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery & Archives Located at the mouth of idyllic Spearfish Canyon, the community of Spearfish is the headquarters for art aficionados, vacationers, hunters, fishermen and snowmobilers alike. To say nature awaits you in Spearfish is an understatement. Nature asserts itself here, grabs you by the senses, and in some cases, never lets go. It gets into your blood by way of pine-scented breezes, the feel of icy creek waters numbing your feet on hot summer days, and silvery moonrises that turn Lookout Mountain aglow. Unique in its blend of history, beauty, small-town charm and big-city amenities, Spearfish is known for its great food, entertainment, and natural beauty. Visitors to downtown are welcomed with a warm, western feel as they discover year-round shopping, dining and outdoor recreation activities. The Spearfish Rec & Aquatics Center is a thrilling location for the whole family.

A vibrant arts and cultural community, Spearfish hosts a variety of theater and musical events, along with art galleries, festivals and markets. Attractions include the D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery & Archives, High Plains Western Heritage Center and the Termesphere Gallery & Museum. Lodging is as eclectic as the community itself—ranging from camping at the Spearfish KOA, rustic cabins, B&Bs, hotels and motels. With its wide variety of bistros, coffee shops, pubs, breweries, steakhouses, sports bars and restaurants, you can dine your way around the world. Indulge your senses with a meal at the Bay Leaf Cafe, a quaint eatery featuring homestyle soups, salads, sandwiches, quiche, specialty meats, and seafood.
