History, Overview and Area Activities
Spearfish, South Dakota
The entrance to the stunning Spearfish Canyon is only a five-minute drive from the resort, and only takes about 30 minutes to drive to the "top." The best way to see the canyon is by leaving the resort and taking a right towards Deadwood. You’ll come to a fork at the beginning of Deadwood after coming down a large, steep hill. Keep right to go through town. Follow this road all the way until you see the Cheyenne Crossing, which is past Deadwood, Central City, and Lead.
To see the beautiful Spearfish Falls, park at the Latchstring and follow the trails down. For the adventure seekers, try the ‘76 Trail, a short but intense hike with the canyon's best views. Check out some real Hollywood/South Dakota history by continuing up Roughlock Falls Road to see exactly where the South Dakota classic “Dances with Wolves” was filmed. This is indicated by a sign on the right side of the road. If you want to hike in the canyon, not far from every pull-off in the canyon will be a trail. Keep an eye out for the family of mountain goats that have found a home in the canyon. No matter what, time spent in the Spearfish Canyon is time well spent.
D.C. Booth Fish Hatchery & Archives
The D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery and Archives was established in 1896 and is one of the oldest fish hatcheries in the country. The hatchery spawns and releases up to 30,000 rainbow trout each year and is a family favorite Spearfish stop. Located right next to the Spearfish City Park, families can enjoy a few hours touring the grounds, feeding the fish, and playing in the beautiful park. The Pond Gift Shop and information center is located in a restored turn-of-the-century hatchery building. The main fish viewing area includes feeding machines that visitors can operate. There is also an underwater viewing area beside the main fish area. The Spearfish Creek runs through the park and hatchery and has multiple picnic areas to enjoy the view.
Local Breweries
If you'd like to try a local sampling of favorite beers, head to Miller Creek Pub where you'll find a variety of rotating local beers on tap.
Mingle with the locals at Crow Peak Brewery. It is recommended to try the Canyon Cream Ale or the Pile of Dirt Porter. They also frequently have live music on the weekends!
For a more urban or modern atmosphere, try out Spearfish Brewing Co. downtown Spearfish. They have new flavors every month for every beer lover. They have a large indoor and outdoor seating area with open windows for seeing the fermenting equipment and seeing how beer is made!
Another popular stop is a logging themed brewery, Sawyer Brewing. This brewery is located directly next to Spearfish Creek with an extensive patio and multiple firepits, perfect for breathing in the summer air. Sawyer offers a selection of delicious wood-fire pizzas and is a perfect stop for the whole family.
Mt. Rushmore
Majestic figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by the beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota, tell the story of the birth, growth, development and preservation of this country. From the history of the first inhabitants to the diversity of America today, Mount Rushmore brings visitors face to face with the rich heritage we all share. From the RV park, the site is approximately seventy miles.
Crazy Horse Memorial
The memorial master plan includes the mountain carving monument, a Native American Museum of North America, and a Native American Cultural Center. The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain, on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota, between Custer and Hill City, roughly seventeen miles from Mount Rushmore.
Rally Fees:
Your rally fee ($475.00 for member couples) includes nine catered meals - three of which are dinners, a night of professional entertainment, BINGO and other games, an ice cream social, Happy Hours, campfires, seminars, and so much more.
