One of South Dakota’s best natural hidden gems is the local favorite Devils Bathtub in Spearfish Canyon. This short hike is unlike any other, and it easily amazes those who visit. The towering canyon walls surround a peaceful, beautiful spot within the canyon that has kept people coming back again and again. When you see it yourself, you’ll understand why.

This hike is not very long, but be prepared to get wet even if you aren’t planning on swimming. The trail crosses the creek multiple times, so waterproof shoes are definitely recommended. To find the trail, you’ll need to take a drive on the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway to Cleopatra’s Place. Here is an exact location.
