Beautiful park with lots of shade

Wonderful stretch along the river

Park in the gravel lot just south of the entrance to Dunning’s Spring Park and next to the Upper Iowa River. The trailhead is just east of where you park (to your left if you are facing the river). This is an out and back soft trail that is just over 2 miles round trip. https://visitdecorah.com/trail/river-trail/

Park anywhere along Twin Springs Road and follow the stream “up river” until the stream disappears into the ground—you have found the source of Twin Springs! Twin Springs park used to be the site of an Iowa DNR fish hatchery. It now is a City of Decorah Park, with benches, picnic tables, grills, a stocked trout stream, a children’s fishing pond, and trails for hiking. At the spring head, the 0.8-mile Odin’s Loop heads into the hills above the stream. https://visitdecorah.com/trail/twin-springs-park/

Witness the mesmerizing source of the spring that feeds the park's stream, a natural wonder worth seeing. Explore a 0.8-mile scenic trail that winds through wooded hills and offers opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying the fresh air.

Explore the Trout Run Loop, a 14 km paved trail near Decorah. This 11-mile year-round path invites biking, hiking, running, fishing, nature viewing, and cross-country skiing. Moderately challenging, it crosses trout streams five times, offering a peaceful journey away from traffic noise, winding along the river and through farmland.

Decorah sits in Northern Iowa and boasts a population of just over 7,500. It is said that 470 million years ago a meteorite crashed into what is now Decorah. The crater, nearly 4 miles wide, lies beneath the town.

The Trout Run Trail winds around the town of Decorah. Along the way you'll see a hilly landscape with cows, wildflowers and hiking paths that venture off the trail.
