About Spearfish Canyon

Spearfish Canyon is a northern Black Hills destination for waterfalls, canyon drives, creekside trails, biking routes, fall color, campgrounds, and short hikes.

Make the Most of a Spearfish Canyon Day

Use calm, dry windows for canyon trails and rides, and be cautious after rain when rocks, stairs, and shaded surfaces can stay slick.

Weather Tips for Spearfish Canyon

  • Canyon weather can be cooler, shaded, and wind-sheltered in places, while storms and wet rock can make short hikes more serious than they look.
  • If thunderstorms are possible, finish ridge, overlook, and scenic-drive stops early and keep shelter close.
  • For campground days, check overnight lows, storm timing, wet ground, and how quickly shelter is available.
  • Check road and trail conditions in shoulder seasons because snow, ice, or downed branches can linger in shaded areas.
