Driftless. The magnificent UIR and the natural beauty of Decorah.

In this video we enter into a unique area of the upper midwest. An area untouched by glacial drift. The beautiful Driftless Area. Surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn we'll kayak the spring fed, crystal clear waters of the UIR. With majestic eagles soaring overhead and the towering bluffs its an experience one will never forget. We'll explore the stunning parks of Decorah and the warmth of its community further enriched our experience. So come along with us as we Explore Eden.

We were told the UIR can be very busy on a summer weekend. That a kayak trip on the UIR during the summer months should be done on a weekday. We had the UIR to ourselves on a 60 degree day in mid October. An October visit for us was perfect.
