Trout Run Trail

Reviewed By jimanddelmyg - Milwaukee, United States

This trail was the reason that my wife and I came to Decorah. It is about 17 miles long and goes around the whole town. It varies from city to farmland to trout stream. We walked the trail and had a great time. There are a few changes in elevation, but all in all it is not a hard trail to walk

Phelps Park

Reviewed By 246carrien - Eagle Grove, United States

Phelps Park is always a great place to hang out. It's great for getting out and hiking in nature, bringing kids to play, have a picnic, or to relax and work or read a book on one of the benches or in one of the shelters.

Dunnings Spring Park

Reviewed By Z5974LLlizc - Chariton, United States

I visited the springs with my friend and her toddler twins. The path to the spring was stroller friendly and lovely to see. There were some stairs to climb up to the tops of the spring, but we didn't venture that this time. I am eager to go back when the trees full of leaves.

If you enjoy fishing for trout - you will love this fish hatchery! We enjoyed a FUN day at the trout fish hatchery!!! Enjoyed feeding the fish (bring quarters!) and hiking/seeing the surrounding area - so beautiful and scenic (and the bonus of seeing the incredibly huge eagles nest - located nearby the hatchery!)!!!

Reviewed By leslied111 - Saint Paul, United States

Pleased to have a ‘new normal’ safe experience today at a favorite brewery. Food was delicious - I highly recommend the Thai Chicken Pizza! Service was very quick on everything we ordered. Beers came quickly as we sampled various ones. King Sue never disappoints! InterGalactic Warrior was very juicy and full bodied. Nice place to venture to during the MN lock down.

We made a trek to Decorah from the Twin Cities to visit Toppling Goliath and Pulpit Rock and to our surprise, we liked Pulpit Rock much better. Nice little spot with super nice, outgoing staff that made us feel like we were regulars. Saftig NE IPA was delicious!

Ice Cave

Reviewed By 433amandao - Ladora, United States

I came here with my family (husband and two sons). It is right down the road from the Dunning Springs waterfall, so we got to see both in a short amount of time. The cave goes is narrow at first, but opens up into two larger rooms, where ice can be seen. We also climbed up along the cliffs and got to explore a few smaller caves, which was pretty cool. It was definitely worth the stop!
