A perfect blend of nature and city
Spearfish is a gem of vibrant arts, eclectic music, and outdoor escapes. Local eateries, breweries, and year-round community events make for an upbeat, cultured atmosphere. Lodging varies from flagship hotels to campgrounds and cabin stays.
MILES OF TRAILS
Spearfish Canyon welcomes adventurers, like rock climbers, mountain bikers, and trail trekkers. Take the 19-mile scenic drive and stop by hiking trails or picnic areas, which run parallel to a flowing creek where you can fly fish year-round. Outside of Spearfish Canyon, you can discover more trail systems just minutes from downtown Spearfish.
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Artistic talent is not hard to find in Spearfish. Visit the Termesphere Gallery & Museum to view unique, hand-painted spheres that blend art and history. Try the virtual reality experience that places you within one of the spherical masterpieces. The community is home to vibrant community theatre and live music. Beat the heat at the Spearfish Rec & Aquatics Center, where you can cool off on three water slides, a lazy river, a rock climbing wall, and more.
