Main Street runs North/South. On the south end of town Main turns into Colorado Blvd, on the North end, North Ave.

North/South streets are (mostly) numbered streets: i.e. 3rd, Canyon, 5th, Main, 7th, 8th, etc.

East/West streets are named from A to Z: i.e. Hudson, Illinois, Jackson, Kansas , Lincoln, Michigan, etc.

Spearfish is a small town. It's difficult to get lost but keeping this in mind will help you find your way around if you're looking for a certain street.

[edit] By foot

A paved walking path follows Spearfish Creek from one end of town to the other. The path leads you through five parks. Some city sidewalks on 3rd St. connect portions of the trail. The easiest entry point with public parking is from Spearfish City Park on the South end of Canyon St. The walking path crosses under the bridges on Jackson and Utah allowing safe and easy passage without waiting for signals on busy streets.
