Trout Run Trail - Decorah Trailhead

The paved 12-mile Trout Run Trail loops through and around the City of  Decorah. It connects city, county and state parks that are packed with diverse options for outdoor recreation including campgrounds, playgrounds, picnic shelters, wildlife areas, native plantings and even a State Fish Hatchery. This one of a kind trail overlooks the Upper Iowa River, meanders over and along several different trout streams, features art sculptures, spectacular overlooks, historic bridges, an LED-lit pedestrian bridge and a spur to Freeport where users can access a new playground and dog park. There are several trailheads along the route, including at the State Fish Hatchery, near the intersection of Highway 9 and Highway 52, on either end of "Doug Road", at Walmart and at the park in Freeport. Trail users can also park in downtown Decorah and easily access the trail.
