With all of the heat lately, we start to think about finding water to cool off. With that in mind, we wanted to highlight 2 of our routes that feature waterfalls and other amazing views.
Iowa Waterfall Route
Who knew that Iowa boasts so many wonderful waterfalls? We did, and this route takes you directly to two waterfalls and puts you in close proximity to three others. The two waterfalls with the easiest access are Dunning Spring Falls and Siewer Spring Falls, both in Decorah, IA.
Other waterfalls along this route are Malanaphy Falls, outside of Decorah, Bridal Veil Falls in Pike’s Peak State Park, and Beulah Falls near Spook Cave. Please be aware that Bridal Veil Falls will require a short hike on a well marked path, but Malanaphy Falls will require a 1 mile hike through fairly rough terrain. The view is worth the hike.
The terrain in this part of Iowa is widely varied. Experience the bluffs along the Mississippi and the rolling hills as you move west away from the river. This route picks its way through the various hill formations as it connects to the different waterfalls. It also follows the Great River Road from Marquette, Iowa to Lansing, Iowa.
Be sure to check out the views from Mt. Hosmer Park in Lansing or at Pikes Peak State Park.

Wisconsin Border Bond Falls Loop
The Wisconsin Bond Falls Loop is fun ride that starts and ends in Wakefield, Michigan. This is a great paved route for people staying at Big Snow Resort. The ride loops South into Wisconsin and weaves between several ponds and lakes before crossing back into Michigan near Watersmeet.
The route eventually angles Northeast to Bond Falls, which is the highlight of the route. Take some time to walk along the pathways to experience the falls up close!
After Bond Falls, the route turns west to the next waterfall, Agate Falls and a view of the old railroad trestle (now an OHV trail).
Finally it continues on to Lake Gogebic State Park before returning to Wakefield.

We are On The Road Again!
Renee and I are headed out for another week of camping and riding. This time in the Black Hills!
We will be able to answer emails, but we will not be able to ship out any SD cards/USB sticks or other merchandise until we return. As always, digital routes will still be available to download. Thank you for your patience!
Ride Safe!
Dale and Renee
