Serenity, nearby splendor
create Spearfi sh ambiance
in our country.” Those
were the words used by
America’s greatest architect,
Frank Lloyd Wright,
when he visited Spearfi sh
Canyon in September
1935.
“U
Wright’s journey
through the canyon was
made along a particularly
nique and unparalleled
elsewhere
rugged trail that followed
a railroad track recently
abandoned by the Burlington
Railroad. By 1950,
the trail had been transformed
into a smoothly
paved roadway, and today
Spearfi sh Canyon Scenic
Byway offers its spectacular
views to the driving
public all year round. The
byway runs from Spearfi sh
to Cheyenne Crossing, a
historic stage stop about
8 miles southwest of Lead
at the convergence of U.S.
Hwys. 14A and 85.
The always-enjoyable
drive of 22 miles either
begins or ends in one of the
most pleasant examples
of small-town USA: the
town of Spearfi sh, nestled
in a broad valley on the
An Unforgettable Getaway!
northern edge of the Black
Hills. Spearfi sh Creek,
which rolls and bubbles the
length of Spearfi sh Canyon,
slows down its pace as it
enters this winsome town.
It then channels through
the exceptionally fi ne city
campground and park
before winding its way
out of town past some of
the area’s most productive
gardens and agricultural
fi elds.

Unique in its blend of
history, beauty, small-town
charm and big-city amenities,
Spearfi sh is truly a
“micropolitan” community
known for its great food
and entertainment. Then
there’s the seven-mile
scenic bike and recreation
trail that winds along
Spearfi sh Creek. With a
location that allows for
four seasons of world-class
recreation, in-town amenities
include an impressive
waterpark, challenging golf
and disc golf courses, tennis
courts, ballfi elds and
horseshoe pits for sports
enthusiasts of all ages. A
