Spearfish is the largest town in the northern Hills and the gateway to Spearfish Canyon. It has a walkable downtown, Black Hills State University, parks along Spearfish Creek and plenty of places to eat.
The D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery is a free, family-friendly stop, and a drive up the canyon to the waterfalls makes an easy half day.
