Little Spearfish Falls sits on Little Spearfish Creek. You'll find it in Lawrence, South Dakota. It is protected within U.S. Forest Service (Black Hills National Forest).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Savoy, the closest town.
When to go: Spring through fall. Like most waterfalls, Little Spearfish Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
