Emily’s Spearfish Suggestions
Sightseeing
We go here many times each summer! Don't miss the little museum explaining about the fish railroad cars, and then walk through the replica where a volunteer shows you around. Tip: buy the large bag of fish food - watching the fish swim up in a huge mass and fight to get it can provide hours of entertainment. The excellent city park is next to the hatchery.

It's a little lake down a gravel road - you can hike all around it. It has kayaks, paddleboats, and paddle boards available for rent.
There are only outhouses for facilities; no showers either.
There is a store, which also has a little cafe in it so you can get sandwiches and burgers.
It's a much shorter drive than to Lake Pactola, so if the weather turns bad or everyone is bored, it's not as much of a commitment.

In the spring and fall, it can be shorts weather.... then dump 18 inches of snow two days later.
