Discover Decorah


The Great Outdoors

Visit a spectacular 200-foot waterfall at Dunning Springs Park and Ice Cave Hill. Though the park is relatively small (about 115 acres), it is very secluded and full of history. The park boasts miles of hiking trails, a scenic overlook, a cascading waterfall and stream, a stone arch bridge, an ice cave, and historical information signs. Quite the oddity, the Decorah Ice Cave freezes during the summer, kept cold by a glacier below the surface. If you want to access the wild cave, be sure to bring shoes with good grip, a helmet, warm clothing, a headlamp, and at least one other form of light.

The Prairie Farmer Trail is the perfect way for people of all ages and abilities to spend time outdoors. The 20-mile paved stretch of paths runs from Calmar to Cresco and offers spectacular views of the countryside, wildflowers, and birdwatching opportunities. Along the route, you’ll find several stops for restrooms, dining, ice cream, playgrounds, and more. It’s a great way to explore the area when you book an RV rental in Decorah, Iowa.

If you’re looking for a fun family outing, this might be the place.
