쉬운 위네식 카운티 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

꽤 괜찮은 폭포이며, 샘이 바위에서 나오는 곳을 볼 수 있도록 꼭대기까지 올라갈 수 있는 계단이 있다는 것이 흥미롭습니다.

멋진 동굴입니다. 70도 중반의 날씨였는데, 여기서 나오는 공기는 30도 정도였을 겁니다. 손전등이나 마이크로스파이크를 챙기지 않았지만, 언젠가 다시 돌아와서 더 깊이 들어가 보고 싶습니다.

트레일로 진입하기 좋았던 강변 주차장이 있습니다. 주차장 근처에는 이 지역의 모든 것을 보여주는 지도가 있습니다. 이곳에서 훨씬 더 많은 시간을 보낼 수 있습니다!

Pulpit Rock, a prominent limestone bluff in Decorah, Iowa, is a picturesque natural landmark in Will Baker Park. This striking geological formation, sculpted by centuries of erosion, offers dramatic views of the Upper Iowa River and the surrounding cityscape. A moderately challenging one-mile loop trail, featuring some steep sections and stone steps, leads hikers to the summit. From this vantage point, visitors are rewarded with panoramic vistas of the Decorah Community Prairie and the scenic rolling hills characteristic of Iowa's Driftless Area.

The water that feeds Dunning Spring comes from near the base of the Galena Aquifer. Beneath this aquifer is the much less permeable Decorah Shale, which acts as a "confining bed" or "floor" for the aquifer. When the Decorah Shale is exposed near the surface of the land, particularly on the sides of river valleys, it causes groundwater to discharge. This process creates beautiful waterfalls and springs, such as Dunning Spring.

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

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 in the gravel area just south of the entrance to Dunning’s Spring Park. Walk to the waterfall and be sure to take time to walk across the stone bridge and climb the steps to view the source of Dunning’s Spring. To the right of the stone bridge is a steep trail leading up to a series of trails above Ice Cave Road. Dunning Springs is the site of a beautiful waterfall surrounded by limestone cliffs. The park features a walking path, scenic overlook, and bridge crafted by local stone mason, Ted Wilson. The trails throughout Dunning Springs and Ice Cave Park are numerous. Due to their complexity and technical difficulty, not all the trails are marked on printed maps. Talk to experts at the local bike shops about navigating this system. https://visitdecorah.com/trail/dunnings-spring-park/
