An easy Iowa trip for the whole family to enjoy.
My kids love climbing the limestone rocks and building dams in the water.
Dunning's Spring Park | Decorah, Iowa
Bring a lawn chair and a book, then park yourself near the waterfall.
Decorah Fish Hatchery & Siewers Springs | Decorah, Iowa
The river is super chill, doesn’t require much paddling and isn’t crazy deep.
Paddle the Upper Iowa
There are lots of stairs, but it’s totally doable with the family. The overlook is worth it, and the loop is only about a mile.
Will Baker/Pulpit Rock Park
The trails are paved, wide and tree-covered, bordered by wildflowers and winding along the river and spring-fed creeks.
Where To Ride - www.decorahbicycles.com
It’s eclectic, bold, quirky and colorful, with home decor, paper goods and all sorts of fun finds.
Jubilee Decorah
This is an outdoor clothing store with lots of great brands.
Decorah Hatchery | Decorah IA
It’s a little like Trader Joe’s, but local.
Oneota Community Food Co-op | Decorah IA
Several vendors are gathered in one spot, and The Buzz makes my favorite Americano ever.
The Landing Market | Decorah IA
Supposedly Iowa’s largest coffee shop? Either way, it has great coffee and great vibes.
Impact Coffee | Decorah IA
Cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibes, if that’s more your thing
Magpie Cafe & Coffeehouse | Decorah IA
Food and beer are awesome. There are plenty of options for the whole family too.
Toppling Goliath Brewing Co.
A smaller brewery with lots of local flavor and a fun summer atmosphere.
Pulpit Rock Brewing Co.
Tons of ice cream flavors and flights if you can’t decide. This is our go-to because they are great with peanut allergies and accomodations.
Sugar Bowl Decorah
Blizzards, outdoor seating, and exactly what you want after a day outside.
The Whippy Dip - Decorah, Iowa | Decorah IA
