SP Siewers Spring/Ice Cave

Decorah Township, 9/7/12, 32/105


 
I'm kind of cheating on this one. The GPS recognized “Siewers Spring State Park”, but took me to a flat space surrounded by rock faces. I drove a bit further and found a “state trout hatchery”. I had looked up my planned route in the morning before I left and it suggested the Ice Cave. The sign for the ice cave said it was part of the “Iowa State Preserves System” and that's good enough for me. The cave had no ice, but it had been very hot for the last few months so I am not surprised. Many sections were closed off. After exiting the cave, I tried to hike around a ledge, but did not get to far on a steep hill with loose rocks.

These rock faces are Siewer's Spring State Park according to the GPS.
