Open Year-round, but the trail is not maintained through the winter, so wear your snow boots and watch your step.
Spearfish Falls was a popular tourist attraction as far back as 1893. That was when the Chicago Burlington Quincy Railroad ran a “Spearfish Spur” route that would stop on the trestle above the falls.
In 1916, the Homestake Mining Company in nearby Lead expanded its operation such that a 6-mile diversion pipeline robbed both Spearfish Creek and Little Spearfish Creek of their flow.
Thus, Spearfish Falls didn’t have flow for as long as the Homestake operation was in place (once the largest employer in Western South Dakota) until it closed in 2002 and eventually decommissioned its diversion pipes.

The highest summit east of the Rocky Mountains, Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak) is one of the best hikes in the Black Hills! If you have the time and the energy, you won't want to miss it.
And, if an excellent hike featuring a 5-state view isn't enough, the most popular trail starts at magnificent Sylvan Lake.
