OUT AND ABOUT IN NORTHEAST IOWA

If people think of Iowa, waterfalls are not coming to mind immediately, if at all. Today we explored the area around Decorah, IA. The Upper Iowa River has formed part of this landscape and is popular among kayak and canoe enthusiasts. Springs and clear streams draw trout anglers and several public parks are good destinations for hiking and other nature activities.

One of them is Dunning’s Springs Park. It is not far from downtown Decorah and a 200’ waterfall is the biggest attraction. It is easy to reach after a short walk. I didn’t take the tripod with me and for both photos I went to the limits of my handholding capabilities.
