Anchored around the town of Belle Fourche at its southwestern edge, Butte County is an area of flat prairieland and farmland that sits to the north of outdoorsy Spearfish and South Dakota’s Black Hills region. The Belle Fourche Reservoir is a large recreational area popular for fishing, boating and camping. Fish species in the reservoir include walleye, catfish, and white bass. An interpretive area on the south side of the Belle Fourche Dam offers information about the reservoir’s history; there is a former Civilian Conservation Corps camp located near the dam that later served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II.
