Many out-of-staters think Iowa is flat and boring, but little do they know that we have some of the most beautiful scenery around – including some absolutely magical waterfalls. One waterfall in particular, Dunning’s Spring Falls in Decorah, is something everyone from Iowa (or from out-of-state) must visit at least once!

This spectacular 200-foot waterfall is just minutes from downtown Decorah, but looks like nothing you would expect to find in Iowa.
