Roughlock Falls

Family Friendly Nature & Recreation Scenic Drives

Take a break from your day to experience Roughlock Falls, a breathtaking multi-tiered waterfall along Little Spearfish Canyon. 

Pioneers traveling down the canyon used to lower their wagons down the drop by roughlocking the wheels to prevent them from rolling freely - hence the name of the falls. Parking and facilities are available as well as picnic areas and maintained walking paths. 

Make a plan to see all three waterfalls on your scenic drive through Spearfish Canyon:
