About Remington Falls
Remington Falls is a 10-foot cascade in South Dakota.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Remington Falls 4.9/10 — if you're passing. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Know what this listing is before you drive: there is no evidence Remington Falls exists. It's not in the USGS place-name database, not in the World Waterfall Database's complete nine-entry South Dakota list, not in any Black Hills waterfall roundup, and not mentioned by any guide to the Grizzly Bear Creek trail system that runs through this exact area.
What's actually at the mapped coordinate: the Maryland Lode Mine, a historic gold claim on Camp Remington Road — the access road to a private 1920s Episcopal church camp. The most plausible explanation is that the name was auto-generated from the nearest road label when some database was assembled.
We keep this page to set the record straight, not to send you there. Don't go looking — the road serves a private camp, and there's no documented water feature at the end of it.

Before you go
The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
