Description
You can get a map from Decorah bicycles shop on College Drive open 361 days a year which I highly
recommend you get as you can get lost easily. Several trails of singletrack interconnected to eachother.
Good sections of uphill up to 1000 feet of climbing. Starting at the first trailhead on the left is the most
well known route but there really is no specified direction as these are several small trails networked
together. There is even an area at the top of the hill where you can ride on logs and large fallen trees with
technical jumps. Best trail system I have ridden in Iowa.

Review: Sat. 8/6/11 - I rode most of Palisades and Van Peenen and a little of Dunning Springs. Racked up 12 miles of beautiful, lush forest trails and never saw another rider. The trails are tight & quick and the most of the climbs are gradual. I did have to hike the bike a few climbs but usually because I didn't gear down quick enough. The owner at Decorah Bicycles went out of his way to accommodate my needs. I live 900 miles away and hope to be able to come back and ride again.
Similar Trail: I live in Texas and the only trail I've ridden that is close to this is Tyler State Park.

Review: Lots of climbing, lots of rocks, lots of roots, TONS of fun.

Review: I drove up from Cedar Rapids and rode this system and I can't wait to do it again. If you live in Iowa you owe it to yourself to cheak this place out.

Similar Trail: Not from this part of the country. For the midwest we enjoyed Elm Creek near Minneapolis, Minnesota and Dekota County Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan, Minnesota. Decorah is similar to Lebanon Hills.
