Spearfish sits at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon in the northern Black Hills, a college town and outdoor hub that has become a popular place to live, retire and own a second home. Black Hills State University brings students and faculty, and the town’s economy runs on tourism, healthcare, construction and a growing number of remote workers drawn by the scenery and South Dakota’s lack of a state income tax. Nearby Deadwood and Lead carry the region’s gold-rush history, and the former Homestake gold mine is now the Sanford Underground Research Facility, a deep physics laboratory.

Spearfish is about an hour from Rapid City’s airport, and the drive adds time to any weekend in the hills. The Black Hills Airport, Clyde Ice Field, is just east of town, so flying private puts you minutes from canyon trails, golf and restaurants. Visitors come for the waterfalls and limestone walls of Spearfish Canyon, the casinos and history of Deadwood, mountain biking and fishing, and Devils Tower in Wyoming is about an hour west.
