Cold Water Creek is a spring creek in Winneshiek County that flows into a limestone formation, continues through an underground labyrinth of limestone passages, and then reemerges from a limestone cave on the opposite side. Scuba divers have explored the labyrinth of passageways Cold Water Creek flows through in the limestone bluff.

I like this highlight because the stream flowing out of the cave appears spooky. I have tried to catch a haunted trout at the cave's entrance but so far, no luck.

There is another spring creek in Winneshiek County, Twin Springs Creek, that also flows directly out of a limestone formation. There is a komoot highlight, Twin Springs Park (komoot.com/highlight/6365536) at that location as well.
