Multi tiered waterfall located in the Spearfish Canyon State Nature Area. The waterfall gets its name from stagecoach pioneers locking the wheels of their coaches (or roughlocking) in order to prevent the wagons from taking damage while traversing the drops. There is also a picnic area in order to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery with a packed lunch.
