Spring Creek Picnic Area
The Spring Creek Picnic Area has eight picnic sites and restroom facilities. It is located about 8 miles west of Rapid City on Sheridan Lake Rd. The picnic area is located next to Spring Creek, in an open forest of oak, cottonwood, willow, and ponderosa pine. It is a nice place to stop, stretch your feet, and have a lunch. It is especially pretty in the fall.
Easily marked and easy to find.
Pretty river runs through the picnic area.
Plenty of places to park.
Very peaceful and usually not too busy.
Pretty in the winter also.
