If this is what Hot Springs is famous for, then please have your local street artists & taggers come and paint SD Black Hills features along the retaining wall. It’s really a creepy pathway to walk because it’s like walking in the Los Angeles aqueduct. Imagine, if you will, local artists painting bison, elk, prong horn, Mt Rushmore, Black Hills silhouette, waterfalls, etc., paying tribute to the Black Hills & their legacy. Right now it’s a scary pathway to a leak in the rocks. Your artists could be done about the same time your streets are done being repaired. We enjoyed our stay, just a suggestion for making it a much better attraction.

The guy who said the walkway to this little side attraction is creepy needs some help lol. If this is creepy to him I want to know what he thinks about the rest of the world lmao. We stopped at Kidney Springs and filled up some jugs. Then we went here. It's super pretty looking with all the colors. The water is nice and cool. We didn't continue the walkway because we had somewhere else to be. But saw a decent amount of people walking the trail. The buildings here are so pretty. You can see some of them from here. All sandstone and brick.

What a wonderful little town!! The folks are so nice. Lady at the Dog haircut place, took the little dude right in and trimmed his nails! Gave us good advice on the Burritos at the drive thru by the waterfall parking lot... We had the Burrito bowl, Burrito and quesadillas.. all delicious! Will be back for sure!

Short trail, but a must see if you're in town. Free stroll down the path while looking although beautiful old buildings. There's also a natural spring you can drink from. Drink at your own risk! We each tried some BECAUSE WHY NOT and we're still fine 48hrs later.

Beautiful waterfall with a little bridge that lets you get very close. The paved path follows the river, and there’s a little spring water fountain just up the way and shops and parking across the river. Wonderful place to walk around and explore!
