Decorah Ice Cave State Preserve in Decorah, Iowa boasts one of the largest ice caves in the Midwestern United States, located within a 3-acre parcel of land at the edge of Barbara Barnhart VanPeenen Memorial Park. Visitors can explore the cave at their own risk, with ice formations typically present from January to late August.
This geological wonder, part of the Driftless Area of Iowa, was gifted to Decorah in 1954 and designated a state geological preserve in 1973. Despite restrictions on how far visitors can venture into the cave due to safety concerns, the site remains a fascinating attraction for those intrigued by karst topography and natural ice formations.
