About Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls was a convenient roadside waterfall in Spearfish Canyon that was quite popular as a result of its ease-of-access.
It was a 60ft waterfall seen between trees from the lookout platform that was directly opposite the parking area across from the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway (US14A; see directions below).

During our end-of-July 2020 visit, we saw scores of people scrambling down the steep banks to access Spearfish Creek as well as others who managed to scramble their way to the base of the waterfall.
That said, I wasn’t sure if any of the scrambling was sanctioned because none of the paths looked like they were sanctioned by the authorities, nor did they look like they could endure the eventual erosion of the stream’s banks.
Our daughter didn’t feel like getting down to Spearfish Creek to cool off so our visit lasted a mere 10-15 minutes before we continued on our drive through Spearfish Canyon.
Another thing I noticed about Bridal Veil Falls was that it seemed to have noticeably light flow when we saw it.

It flowed from the Rubicon Gulch, which was a side stream that fed the perennial Spearfish Creek.
Therefore, I’d imagine the falls would be best seen during the Spring, and it might not perform very well towards the Autumn though I’m just extrapolating based on how much better Spearfish Falls and Roughlock Falls performed.
