Experience the striking natural beauty of the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, as you travel along a winding road that meanders through towering limestone cliffs, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.

Its idyllic setting in a side canyon to Spearfish Canyon makes Roughlock Falls one of the Black Hills most beautiful areas and also one the area’s most-photographed spots. Created by Little Spearfish Creek, the creek flows down a spectacular chasm, then tumbles off a 50-foot limestone ledge in a series of lacy cascades.

A popular destination for decades, the newly-improved walkways offer easy access to this wonderland. It is also known as one of the few places in where one can view the American Dipper, a rare bird that can both walk and swim under the cool, flowing waters.

There are shady picnic facilities and restrooms, along with trails, catwalks and amazingly designed viewing nodes. Here we stop for a picnic lunch (included with the tour).
