Roughlock Falls is one of the Black Hills favorite sites. Water from springs upstream in Little Spearfish Creek cascade down the falls. The surrounding limestone cliffs tower over the falls as high as 2000 feet in some areas. The stream is usually exceptionally clear. Wild brown trout dart in an out of the shadows.
You can get there on 14A coming from near either Lead or Spearfish. The turnoff from Spearfish Canyon to get to the falls is at Savoy. When you get to the Latchstring Inn on the east, or Spearfish Canyon Lodge on the west, you're near the turnoff. It's gravel road for a couple miles to Roughlock Falls.
