Spearfish is in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Get in
Although Spearfish is a small community with 14,000 residents, it is the commercial and academic center for several towns in the Black Hills and nearby Wyoming and Montana, attracting more than a million visitors each year with its museums, festivals and natural beauty.

US I-90 runs East/West through Spearfish, Exits 8, 10, 12, 14, 17

US 85 (on the CanAm highway) South from Belle Fourche through Spearfish and continues to Deadwood/Lead

By car
Jackson Boulevard runs West from I-90 Exit 12 through the center of town

Main Street runs North/South. On the south end of town Main turns into Colorado Blvd, on the North end, North Ave.

East/West streets are named from A to Z: i.e. Hudson, Illinois, Jackson, Kansas, Lincoln, Michigan, etc.

Spearfish is a small town. It's difficult to get lost but keeping this in mind will help you find your way around if you're looking for a certain street.

By foot
A paved walking path follows Spearfish Creek from one end of town to the other. The path leads you through five parks. Some city sidewalks on 3rd St. connect portions of the trail. The easiest entry point with public parking is from Spearfish City Park on the South end of Canyon St. The walking path crosses under the bridges on Jackson and Utah allowing safe and easy passage without waiting for signals on busy streets.

Nature
Perfect for rock climbing, hiking, fly fishing and more, Spearfish's beautiful forests and cascading waterfalls are naturally inviting.

Hikers, bikers, photographers and group travelers can discover inspiration amid the spruces and ponderosa pines. Inside the charm of the city, you'll find great conversation and keepsakes in our coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques. Take in a theater performance, splash around at the waterpark or hear the engines purr at the annual Black Hills Corvette Classic. In Spearfish, you can fill your sense and your scrapbook.
