    Hiking

    The distance to the spring from the small parking lot at the trailhead is one mile.

    Hiking

    The trail at Malanaphy Springs State Preserve is one of the lesser visited trails in the Decorah area, making it a great option if you are looking for a more secluded hiking experience. The trail is well-kept and is open all year long. The "waterfall" at the end is definitely stronger right after a big rain, and it can appear more like a regular spring than a full-on waterfall.
