Review & FAQ:
This lake in Iowa is fed by a subterranean spring, which gives the lake its lovely clear waters. It’s the deepest natural lake in Iowa and has plenty of beaches for swimming and sunbathing. There are no motorboat restrictions on West Okoboji Lake, so there are lots of motorboats and jet skis on the water, full of people enjoying themselves and trying out watersports. It’s also a popular destination for snorkeling and swimming, although the water in this lake is exceptionally cold due to the natural spring. The lake is also known for its record breaking fish, which include tiger muskie, northern pike, short nose gar, and walleye.
