South Dakota parks attract people worldwide, but even some Mount Rushmore State parks manage to be even more magical than others! Case in point: This family-friendly SoDak park is home to not only an epic playground but also a museum and world-class recreational trails.

Welcome to the epic Spearfish City Park!

Nestled away beside Spearfish Creek, the fun at Spearfish City Park begins with the massive wooden playground that offers plenty of opportunities to climb, swing, and slide.

After letting the kids go wild on the playground, you will want to hike around the Spearfish Rec Trail, which features 7.5 miles of winding paths and other things to see and do.
