Siewers Spring, located a mile south of Decorah, is Iowa’s second-largest natural spring. It’s the vital water source for the Chuck Gipp Decorah Fish Hatchery, where rainbow trout are raised and visible to the public. Enjoy walking paths, picnic spots, and streamside fishing at the spring and nearby Trout Run. With a history dating to 1832, Siewers Spring once powered local industries before becoming a state park and hatchery in the 1930s, with Civilian Conservation Corps-crafted limestone buildings.

Trout Run Park is a scenic 6-acre destination located on the east edge of Decorah, Iowa, where the Trout Run Stream flows into the Upper Iowa River. This popular park serves as a convenient trailhead for the Trout Run Trail—a paved, 12-mile loop perfect for biking, walking, running, and cross-country skiing, with beautiful views of limestone bluffs and the river. The park is especially favored by anglers, with the Trout Run Stream being stocked weekly with Rainbow Trout from April through October, and opportunities to catch Brown and Brook Trout in the stream’s cold, clear waters. Visitors can enjoy two picnic shelters equipped with tables and a grill, accessible fishing facilities and shoreline, restrooms, and ample parking for both trail users and fishermen. Additionally, Trout Run Park features boat access to the Upper Iowa River and is home to one of Iowa's largest historic bowstring bridges, making it a welcoming spot for both outdoor enthusiasts and families.

The historic Tainter gate from Decorah’s Lower Dam now stands as an outdoor industrial sculpture in Trout Run Park. Originally installed around 1909 to help control water flow for hydropower generation, this Tainter gate is the last of its kind from the dam. Carefully preserved, it serves both as a public work of art and a testament to the engineering innovation that brought electricity to Decorah and its surroundings in the early 20th century. The gate was relocated and permanently displayed in Trout Run Park in May 2021.

This is the second of two accessible trout fishing locations on Trout Run Trail. To reach this spot, drive northeast on Trout Run Road from the Chuck Gipp Decorah Fish Hatchery for approximately 0.7 miles until you arrive at a gravel parking area beside a brown walking trail bridge. Park here, then continue about 0.2 miles northeast along Trout Run Trail. This section of the trail follows the stream and is relatively flat and paved, making it suitable for both walker and wheelchair users. A paved spur extends from Trout Run Trail to the bank of Trout Run, providing accessible fishing access.
