The Iowa Trail That Leads To A Stairway Waterfall Is Heaven On Earth

Iowa is known for having perfectly pleasant weather – when it’s not raining or snowing! Whether you’re looking for an outdoorsy adventure in the spring, summer, or fall, a trip to the Decorah Fish Hatchery and Siewers Springs Park will show off one of the most unique places in the state, and one of the prettiest cascades in Iowa.

The Decorah Fish Hatchery and Siewers Springs Park is a unique place to take your family when the weather is nice.

At the Fish Hatchery, kids can feed young fish and learn all about how Iowa's ponds and waterways are stocked for hobbyists each year.

Be sure to get out and explore the whole park, and you'll find it's truly a treasure!

Hidden towards the back of the park, you'll find Siewers Springs Falls.

Though it is technically a spillway, the gorgeous staircase formation makes this one of the most beautiful cascades in Iowa!

You can hike right on up to the top or have a picnic on the grounds nearby. Put a trip to this staircase waterfall on your Iowa bucket list if you love nature!

You’ll find the fish hatchery and park at 2325 Siewers Spring Rd, Decorah, IA 52101. Stop by any time the water is nice!
