About Spearfish Canyon Lodge

Spearfish Canyon Lodge sits along a river canyon in Lead, South Dakota, with 57 guest rooms that sleep up to 250 people, so a wedding party can take over the whole property.

Outdoor ceremonies are seated for up to 250 with an indoor backup space held in reserve, and the same 250-guest count applies to seated dining in the lodge's meeting and banquet room.

Weddings run April through October, with a 150-guest minimum, in-house catering and a full buyout option.

Room choices range from King Rooms and a Standard Room sleeping four to named suites including the Bridal Veil Falls, Calamity Jane, Roosevelt and Muir suites, plus the Berry Patch Cabin.

I recently had a wedding here, and it was the most magical experience of my life. First off, the staff at the lodge are incredible (and that's putting it lightly!).
